Device details: Lenovo Legion 5 17ACH6H, board NM-D562, revision 3.0, IC W25Q16JWSNIQ, 1.8V adapter. The BIOS got corrupted during the Windows update because Lenovo tried to install Windows updates alongside the BIOS fix. I'm using CH341A with a 1.8V power supply. No program supports W25Q16JWSNIQ at 1.8V; I've tested several, including AsProgrammer 2.0.4, NeoProgrammer V2.2.0.10, and CH341A ProgManager V2.0. The dump I downloaded was incomplete, so software couldn't detect the right chip size. Only a few provided a full 16MB image, but all reported errors saying "Buffer size not equal to IC size." Since the actual size is 16MB, I need a programmer that recognizes W25Q16JWSNIQ or an alternative solution? Any advice would be appreciated!

I only use flashrom on debian/ubuntu for that task. All GUI programs I tested performed poorly.

The device is a 16 megabyte flash memory chip, which equals 2 MB. The software accurately identifies the chip's dimensions.
