I have a similar problem right now.
First Chromebook that has gotten to us happens to be a series 3 Samsung Chromebook. According to ifixit step 8 here: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Chromebook+11.6+Teardown/12225 it is on a chip that is soldered on the board. Does this require a chip-off shop?
My understanding is that you can boot to a Linux enviro. and image the chip to an exteral HDD if you can put the chromebook into development mode. However if you put the chromebook into development mode it will wipe the drive, which obviously isn't an option.
Anyone have any suggestions?
