Thanks, Rainbow!
The weird thing about this chip is that in earlier revisions of the datasheet (found rev. A2 here) this 12V trick is described.

Boot block lockout
I have a Winbond W49F002U flash chip (from a dead MSI board) with locked boot block (addresses 3C000 and up cannot be erased - tried with my c't flasher). Does anyone know how to disable this feature? TIA (hopefully my post won't be deleted this time... What would be the right section for questions ...

Bought the same board recently (it was really cheap :) ). I read in some kind of forum (don't remember, where), that it's not possible to replace the BIOS. If it hadn't a soldered BIOS chip, I would would verify it myself. Maybe wcpredit will allow you to change settings that Compaq doesn't want you...

Soldered BIOS chip
Is de-soldering and then flashing the only option to fix a messed-up BIOS chip that is soldered on the motherboard (assuming that it doesn't have any recovery options like boot-block BIOS)? Or is it possible to flash it somehow on-board with external flasher?
TIA
