was updating my coreboot tree, rebuild after rebuild, etc

pretty sure i nuked one of the flash chips on the motherboard by keeping the clip connected (and powered & all) while powercycling.

i got away with it before, but i guess i rolled snake eyes this time. those are the bad ones, right?

edit: now that i think about it, i was able to read both flash chips without issue, and reflash them. it might just be a firmware issue, after all!

    You pretty much have to fully take apart the T540p and flip the mainboard over to get to the BIOS chip. Same for CPU upgrades.
