I'm retired but I used to redo flash modules regularly (almost daily) at my last job. Our motherboards had redundant firmware but once in a while we'd brick one such that we had to flash without the benefit of the monitor program...most often because we had a build that even broke the code..on early prototypes the flash module was socketed, but later on (and on production boards) it would be soldered on, so we used an in-circuit clip on tool that would use something like this to adapt to 1.8v modules.How do you know whether you need this (in addition to whichever in-circuit flashing tool you have)? Need to look at the datasheet for the flash module, it may be 1.8v, if so you need one of these to work with programming the flash module in-circuit.As I mentioned I'm retired now, but still manage to brick firmware on motherboard (one I buy rather than work on...though 40 years ago I actually did work on x86 motherboards, but even production ones had socketed ROM modules (flash was still way in the future). I have actually worn out flash modules such that they won't accept reprogramming (or if they do, it "forgets" the flash eventually such that you have to keep reprograming it unless you desolder and replace the flash module(s)). Back then we had EPROMs early one until eventually the code became somewhat stable and was put in a ROM.

I screwed up whatever I was doing with this…..but it tried its very best getting me the results I failed at! And it still works to this day. I got a bunch of these so just in case one might crash I have backups!
