BQ20Z45: Flashing locked up BQ20Z45 with MSP430 Launchpad (msp430g2553)?

Part Number: BQ20Z45


I have a laptop battery that is locked up after being stored without usage for too long. My laptop would not charge it, so I've disassembled it and charged individual cells to 3.7 volts. It didn't help, and since the fuse is intact, it looks like bq20z45 is locked up. 

My question is, since MSP430 is i2c capable, is it possible to use it for accessing bq20z45 and flashing it to unlock it?

Thanks!
