So my RBP crashed mid BIOS flash within Windows, I was reverting back to stock after some mods. It crashed at the "erasing boot block" section. Black screen and boot loop - I figure the BIOS chip is corrupted now, I've been here before.
I whip out the ch341a and try to flash back the original file supplied by Razer ... Power button does nothing now![]()
I flash one more time and some smoke comes out of the ch341a (???) and isn't picked up by my 2nd machine anymore ... Wtf is going on here and how do I fix it? Freaking out majorly here :S

BIOS chip now not responding at all for Flashrom - wtf is going on?

UPDATE: ch341a was somehow fried - confirmed by brand new one reading/writing chips just fine. Stock BIOS is on there now and still no boot up ... If the programmer fried then something on the RB likely fried also?

Is it possible this machine refuses to turn on due to lower version Intel ME flash? I read downgrading is near impossible due to hardware lock on motherboard.
