i have a bricked motherboard with a winbond W25Q128FWSQ chip and JSPI1 pinset i cant find data sheets or anything about it also, this is my first time trying to unbrick a motherboard this way, so i pretty much have no clue what i am doing but i have the soic8 extension and still no luck, i am using flashcat 2.1 pcb
and the bricked motherboard is asus prime b350 plus if that helpsIMG_0020.JPG the bios chip is right next to the pins
 
You will need to post more information.

Does the software detect the Flash BIOS?
 
no it dosent automatically detect it, i also dont know if i had the wires in the proper locations i just tryed to follow diagrams from other motherboards
 
It's hard to determine from that picture , what is connected to what as we cannot see the layout of the pin header on the motherboard , could you post a few pictures of

A. The pin header on the motherboard with no connection to it
B. The pin header connected to FCUSB so we can follow the wiring to determine if you have it as it should be.
C. Screenshot of the software Console tab when you attempt a connection.
 
the black and red pins are not connected, i have also included the diagrams i followed and i have also tried flashcat 426 and 430 same results, also to note in the picture on the programmer u only see the red light because i shut the program down and then took the pictures, the red and blue light shows up when i have the program open, and that white pin header on the board is for RGB lightening

Do you have AC power connected to the motherboard ?
Do you have a multimeter to proove continuity between the header pins and the respective pin on the chip itself , we need to see if this header on the motherboard is the same as the MSI header pic that was posted.
 
i have tryed it with power going to the board still same result, i do not have a multimeter only one i had i lost it about 2months ago

You find datasheet here - https://www.winbond.com/resource-files/w25q128fw revk 05182017.pdf?__locale=en

It`s 1.8v 128M-bit serial flash memory. So, I think for programming You need adapter 3.3v to 1.8v.
