Fixing bricked system with hardware disassembly and external devices.

There are two methods to flash the environment.

Flashing with a CH341a USB programmer

Requirements

Most Skylake and older models (with a few exceptions) use a SOIC-8 flash chip which is easily clippable. Most if not all Kabylake/Apollolake and newer devices use a WSON-8 flash chip which can't be clipped, instead you need a WSON-8 probe. Check the part number of your flash chip to find the correct size needed.

  • A Linux device that can run flashrom
  • A ch341a USB flash programmer
  • A 1.8v adapter
  • A SOIC-8 chip clip or a WSON-8 probe
