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.
