+					Internal flashing should work just fine, even if you are
+					currently booting the proprietary firmware.
+				</p>
+
+				<p>
+					Libreboot currently lacks documentation for externally
+					re-flashing an LPC flash chip. However, these boards have
+					the flash chip inside of an LPCC socket, and it is possible
+					to hot-swap the chips. If you want to back up your
+					known-working image, simply hot-swap the chip for one that
+					is the same capacity, after having dumped a copy of the
+					current firmware (flashrom -p internal -r yourchosenname.rom),
+					and then flash that chip with the known-working image.
+					Check whether the system still boots, and if it does, then
+					it should be safe to flash the new image (because you now
+					have a backup of the old image).
+				</p>
+
+				<p>
+					Keeping at least one spare LPC PLCC chip with working firmware
+					on it is highly recommended, in case of bricks.
