With the chromebook powered on (be careful), and your multimeter in DC
volt mode, touch one probe to any metallic part of the computer chassis
or any known ground (could even use the ground pin of the flash), then
touch the other probe to the /WP pin (there was a datasheet sent out
before with pictures of all of the different packages and their
pinouts). If your meter reads 0V then the pin is being pulled down and
the hardware /WP is being enforced. If it reads 1.8V or something around
there then it might be a bad chip or something off in flashrom.
