I’m attempting to flash an MSI MS-7680 Ver. 5.1 (H61M-P25 (B3))

Here is what is shown after running flashrom:

Found Winbond flash chip “W25Q32.V” (4096 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi
Reading old flash chip contents...done.
Erasing and writing flash chip...Erase/write done.
Verifying flash...FAILED at 0x00000010! Expected=0x5a, Found=0xff, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x003fffff: 0x1f3d61
Your flash chip is in an unknown state

I did successfully create a backup, but when I opened it with a hex editor, it is mostly FF.

Is the chip toast?  Or is there something else I can try?
