Well, maybe your flashing setup is not reliable, and even such a small
error (some bytes) could break a BIOS feature - that maybe you are not
using currently, so right now can't tell if anything is wrong... I'd
recommend improving your flashing setup (shorter wires, maybe a more
reliable CH341A programmer instead of RPi) and flash it again.

No I'm pretty sure the 1.8V is connected. Should I try to disassemble the 
programmer and the 1.8V converter and assemble it again?

What do you mean with the 3 pin is low? How can I fix this?

If I recall correctly, this is a 1.8V part. Are you powering it with a higher 
voltage, by any chance?

So you are using a 1.8V converter between the programmer and the chip?

Regarding the original issue: If you can not change any bytes, I would
suspect the flash chip is write-protected. Check its datasheet, it is
likely pin 3 is somehow pulled low (write-protect pin is usually active
when low).
