I had this exact problem when I was trying to read my W530's chips with Raspberry Pi 3. Back then I ended up powering the motherboard using the Wake-on-Lan feature of Lenovo BIOS (and not connecting the VCC pin ofc), you can do the same and it should work but you have to be careful. But then I bought a ch341a programmer and it worked fine with W530. I'm not sure but maybe your ch341a doesn't have enough juice and that's why flashrom can't recognize chips reliably.
