Thanks for your quick response. I did a little more work, and it
looks like I needed to power the mainboard w/ the ac adapter to
power the chip and disconnect vcc from bus pirate from pin 8. Then I
enabled bus pirate's internal pullup resistors by connecting vcc to
vpu.<br>
<br>
So this works now:<br>
<br>
<small><font face="Courier New">C:\flashrom><b>flashrom -p
buspirate_spi:dev=com3,pullups=on,spispeed=8M</b><br>
flashrom v0.9.6.1-r1704 on Windows 5.1 (x86)<br>
flashrom is free software, get the source code at

<br>
Calibrating delay loop... OK.<br>
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L3205(A)" (4096 kB, SPI) on
buspirate_spi.<br>
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L3205D/MX25L3208D" (4096 kB, SPI)
on buspirate_spi.<br>
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L3206E" (4096 kB, SPI) on
buspirate_spi.<br>
Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s):
"MX25L3205(A)", "MX25L3205D/MX25L3208D", "MX25L3206E"<br>
Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c
<chipname> option.<br>

<br>
Thanks to everyone who works on flashrom, hopefully now I will be
able to recover my bricked laptop by flashing a new bios.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
