Hi, I'm trying to revive an HP Elitebook 840 G2 with a bricked bios. Problem is that I'm stuck on getting a dump from the BIOS-chip, it doesn't seem to give me the correct output.
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2B+ with Flashrom and a Pomona SOIC8-clip. The chip in question is a Macronix MX25L12873F (datasheet here). Flashrom detects the chip fine - or so it seems, it's detected as a "Macronix MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E". Reading takes quite long, I'd say about ten minutes or so. When I open the output in a hex-editor every line is like this:
Does anyone have an idea why this is, and what I could change to get a correct dump of the BIOS?
