I checked locally on laptop for what's written on flash chip that's
correct label of chip was mx25l but can't read other parts of label
I do not need to flashing bios it already flashed works fine anyway I
just want to report  and I know laptops difficult to you
flashrom is great tool and worked fine on my nforce board and own
property flashing tool was totally trash I can't trust on that :)

Regards.
