It would be nice if there were a link to purchase the right jumper. I'd rather spend 50 cents, and permanently enable write access, than mess around with the screwdriver.
Permanent write access to the chip that houses your bios? Do you want an unremovable virus? Because this is how you get an unremovable virus. You want to unlock that chip only for exactly as long as you are going to knowingly change its data yourself, and then lock it right back up.
Cheers. I hadn't thought about that. I just saw the photo, and it doesn't look like a pleasant way to work. Screwdriver breaking something off, ESD, etc.
Jam some aluminum foil in the hole and seal with epoxy? It's a 6 year old Chromebook, so the financial risk is pretty low :)
That is true. I didn't realize it was six years old
How you enable write access varies by model. For mine you simply remove a screw. That said, I'm not sure you'd want to enable it permanently. That sounds dangerous.
