Hi all,
I got an "sector erase FAILED, status =0x82" message when trying to flash a chip. This is not the original bios chip, so I am safe in that regard, but I would still like to get this chip to work. Could the chip be faulty or does anyone have suggestions why it might not work?
some info: motherboard: Jetway J7F2 (VIA VT8237) (comes with a 4MBit chip) flash chip: SST49LF160C (16MBit) reading works fine (at least, no errors) flash write protect is disabled in BIOS setup, there are no (documented) jumpers for flash write protection
Interestingly (?), if I run flashrom multiple times, it fails at different addresses.
I have not tried flashing the original bios chip with a copy of itself, but would prefer to keep that chip in a known good state.
