The above command, 'flashrom -r', will not erase a flash chip. Have your friend either power cycle his machine or remove the mainboard battery (CMOS reset) with mains disconnected. Given the fact that the parameter '-p internal' was not used, he was using an old version of flashrom, version 0.9.3 or older. > > Please, I will be looking forward for your comments. > Thanks in advance. > > H. > > _______________________________________________ > flashrom mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
