I was able to fix a laptop I bricked that way, note to self: never disable usb on a device with only usb input. the device had no bios clear pins. So I got a chip flasher and a soic clip and reflashed the firmware the hard way. luckily it worked "on board"
A process note. I did not really know what I was doing. and nothing was flashing correctly. Most of my problems ended up being with the cheap soic clip I had bought. After buying a nicer one it flashed first try. If anyone wants a recommendation, the nicer clip was from pomona electronics.

I can +1 for that clip. Had similar issues pulling data off a flash chip. If `flashrom` could see it at all, each read would come back with a different `sha1` hash.
Spent _way_ too long fighting that before I had the "wonder if this cheap clip is the issue..." thought. The pomona clip is so much better made and holds on to the chip well.
