    HWAT??

    I’ve got an old one that I am trying that on first thing tomorrow. I assume you can plug the battery back in afterwards?

      Depending on how old it might be another method. Some have a switch somewhere, or a specific screw. Check out mrchromebox’s page.

      And yeah you just boot it with the battery disconnected once and it disables the write protect!

        Yeah, did some research and it ended up being a screw that needed removed. Regardless, I didn’t know this was possible at all so I’m quite happy
