Hi Thomas
I saw you mentioned in an email to Pi.BerkeleyLUG about the chromebooks
talking about a "jig" to program them
did you know that Paige laser cut a piece of acrylic to go with some pogo
pins, and a map of the EEPROM chip's connections on the bottom of the
motherboard?
the idea is that with this hardware, we should be able to reflash the chips
without taking the motherboard out - just take off the bottom cover, remove
the write-protect screw, and press this jig onto the board and flash it
It's in my locker but we can look at it together and try to get it working,
and then just power through the whole stack of chromebooks with it
here is that email thread:

and here is the map of places to connect on the board:
