    Cannot flash IBM Thinkpad T61 bios. Need override.

    This is a phoenix bios.

    Block to be sensed: 0 at physical address: FFEB0000
    Block IDs are zero so search for a matching device

    Calling driver to sense device with ID: SPI_DESC_4M (000400FF)

    Before calling driver with partIndex: 0

    After calling driver with partIndex: 0
    Driver returned ID(Manufacturing ID, Device ID): Unknown (00FF00FF)
    ERROR: No matching algorithms found for above block

    Error code : -151(0xFFFFFF69)
    Description:
    The current device is not supported in the interface.
    Error code: -151

    My problem is the manufacturing id should equal the sense id above (000400FF). It flashed before upon looking at prior log records but not now. Cannot flash bios in dos due to same problem. Can someone help? I haven't figured this one out since late last year. BTW, it's a Thinkpad T61. Thanks.
