It's unclear which model you has.
693-596-8671-2A6LGC3AC match with Chaintech 6VTA2.
But strings with 692-596-8671 can be found in other Chaintech models:
Chaintech 6AIA
Chaintech 6AIA2
Chaintech 6ASA
Chaintech 6ASV
Maybe you has an OEM board for other vendor.

Pleae have a look at your board - usually there a small white sticker next to the Flashrom with CT-6VTA2 or a similar model number printed onto it, sometimes the model number is printed onto the board itself.
