reflashing a FX43G with FX43S419.BIN

[frits.swinkels]

I get:
Found ITE SuperI/O
found Via Vt8237 enable flashing write...OK
..
found SST SST49LF004A/B
image seems to be a legacy bios Disabling checks.
..
ERASE FAILED!

I suppose I have to do something with a jumper or what.

There is a Clear CMOS setting jumper with instructions
turn offf power + remove power cable
Remove jumper cap from 1 and 2 and put on 2 and 3 for a few seconds, 
then cap back to 1 and 2
plug in cable, etc.

I did this but no difference.

Hello!

What you need is called a "board enable."  This is some code that we
can add to flashrom to enable writing on your board.  If you are
interested in helping to support your board, please reply with the
following information:
'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool -deV' (all commands as
root), the exact name of your board (including revision, if there are
multiple revisions), and a link to the official BIOS download.

Thanks!

Josh

That would astound me, as i have owned this hardware since 2005, 2 years 
before i created board_enable.c.

This is the email from that time where i also confirm the fx43g as 
working.
