[flashrom] W836xx: Lenovo T530: flashrom -V

[Nenad Crnko]

Hello flashrom team,


Please find appended a problem report of a failed attempt at probing
the flash on T530.

I would be happy to assist with testing and have means of recovering
if the flash content should get corrupted.


It looks like flashrom currently can not even get to reading the flash
on this model.


Regards,
Nenad

========================================================================
WARNING! You seem to be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop.
Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we
recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller
(EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing.
See the manpage and https://flashrom.org/Laptops for details.

If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop
and write may brick your laptop.
Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight
failure and sudden poweroff.
You have been warned.
========================================================================
Aborting.
Error: Programmer initialization failed.
