Another approach is to use an external SPI programmer:

    The 'downside' of this is that you need to take your laptop apart.

ODM schematics of your laptop are found here:

    Downloads for BIOS updates:

    and ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55501-56000/sp55556.exe

My guess (I am not a HP service technician) is that you need
    ROM.CAB/Rom.bin from sp55556.exe - you can use 7zip to extract Rom.bin

This is probably way beyond my skills,
but thanks anyway.
