Hello. This notebook arrived dead. Tryied to reflash the SPI eprom with files of SIMILAR motherboard and it turned to life. Now I tryied to update BIOS downloading it from HP site, but the executable says "this bios is not for your computer" (I guess it depends by the current BIOS not perfectly compatible with the board..).
I'm thinking to desolder the chips and reflash it with my programmer with the correct files, but the file provided by HP is a merged file containing either main bios and EC bios, and I haven't found the separated files for my model.
So I need help: can I split the file in two single files and flash it separately?
I don't want to leave the current bios because I cannot use the WIFi board, and there are some minor issue that I think are related with the wrong BIOS.
If it can help, I attach the original damaged bios files, and the currentlt installed files, probably dedicated to the dv6-6b54er model.
The file I have to split is contained in the archived file downloadable from HP site:

Thank a lot for any help!
