How to use?
Example
Before to use, check the your flashromis compatible and supported package with compatible list.
You can see the flashrom's device name after detach the sticker on flashrom.
PCBIOS FLASHROMprogrammer
Install the software on your working PC.
Pull out the BIOS flashrom(IC-chip) frommotherboard's BIOS socket that you need to update BIOS.
Figure 4 - Pull up little just one corner.
* A Basic package doesn't include a pincette or PLCCejector.
NANO BIOS PROGRAMMER

Figure 5 - Pull up other corner.
* Some flashromis soldered directly on M/B PCB.
In this case, you can use this flashromafter flashromis divided fromM/B with special soldering tool.
* PLCC32 flashromcan be used with reverse direction external socket.
* TSOP40/32 flashromcan be used with some soldering points.
* SPI flashromcan be used with some soldering points.
* All these work are dependent on M/B design. Contact me.
Insert the flashromto NANO BIOS PROGRAMMER's correct socket.
Figure 6.
* All flashromhas direction.
The PLCC32 flashromhas corner notch and DIP-8pin flashromhas half-moon notch at upside edge.
Connect NANO BIOS PROGRAMMERto your PCparallel port.
Also, you can use to connect with 25pin parallel extension cable.

Figure 9. USB mini-type CABLEis used in most Digital-Camera or MP3.
Figure 10. - USB B-type CABLEis used in most USB Printer or USB CD-ROM.
* A Basic package doesn't include any cable.
* You need to plug just one USB socket.
Run the software.
Press the Get IDbutton. Then you can see the detected device information.
* If you can not see the correct device information, you may can't use this flashrom.
Check the forward steps, even if you do that, device information is fail, try with other flashromor contact me.
Press a function button you want. (Write, Read, Verify or Erase)
Then, software ask you the filename or agreement of progress.
You can see the green progress bar when reading/verifying chip, and red progress bar when programming/erasing.
NANO BIOS PROGRAMMER

You can see the green progress bar when reading/verifying chip, and red progress bar when programming/erasing.
And the Vdd LEDwill be turned on when NANO BIOS PROGRAMMERis running.
When operation is complete without any error, you can see the success message on status bar.
Divide the flashromfromNANO BIOS PROGRAMMER.
Then turn back it to the first place.
* If the PCdoesn't work after updating, re-try the first step.
But if the verifying was succeed, it isn't BIOS problem.
Check the PCis normal state, or bended pins in the flashromsocket.

Caution
NANO BIOS PROGRAMMERdoesn't support legacy parallel flashromlike 29C0x0, 49F0xx, 39SF0x0, 28F0xx, 27Cxxx.
This flashromwas used old INTELBX/LX/EX/TX/HX/VX/FX chipset M/B and old VIA/SiS/Ali's P-III, P4 M/B and old AMDCPUM/B.

Don't pull in flashromreverse direction.

Programmer and flashrommay be damaged.

Use this programmer on electric isolate place.
