Hi Flashrom,

I have a PCB of a HDD which is damaged by heat, but I was trying to read the bios chip. I have tried with CH341a Programmer 1.29 and 1.41, but I cannot find my bios 25S40A 00 LFGC. I have tried second option with Ubuntu command (installed as a subsystem of Windows).

So, I am using this command sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r b

Couldn't open device 1a86:5512.

Error: Programmer initialization failed.

It is a because I run Ubuntu as described, the cleat not touching the pins enough or my chip is burned too?

I would appreciate any help.

Kind regards,

Vasile
