Yeah, you were right. Same behavior with EC12. Here are the dumps of two other chips 25X40CLNIG.
Thanks. Almost identical content in these chips, sort of "settings"? All firmwares should work, it has to be something not firmware related....I'm sorry but I can't help you here.
I dont understand - if a bios flash fails - what does bricking mobo actually mean? The bios chip gets fried? Mobo gets fried?
