I need an Acer V3-551 BIOS version 2.02 - anyone help?

So - I updated my BIOS because it was a common practice where I had worked!

However, my RAM isn't working now because of the updated BIOS. I am not sure why - but everyone else has the same exact RAM and it works for their laptop - same model as mine!

However, they are on an earlier BIOS - they never upgraded theirs!

So I am in a deep urge to find someone who has an Acer V3-551 who didn't update their BIOS and still has 2.02 which is the stock.

I need someone to download the BIOS backup toolkit and then it is so easy to do - you click backup and then save the ROM somewhere and upload it and send it to me. :(

Can anyone do this? I know Yahoo! Answers isn't my personal army, but I don't know anyone with this series of laptop.

Update:

The original 4GB works fine.

However, I cannot put in two sticks of the same RAM. I am not sure whether it is a power issue or not.

But I did the recovery procedure but it doesn't work because the .bin file is 5MB and my BIOS is 4MB. I also used flashit.exe and it said the same thing. :/

    uf your ram does not work how you will restore the bios file obtained from another one's pc? Do you know the recovery procedures for bricked laptops? i don't know that but i updated my bios recently but did not have any issue. try recovering your bios to earliest available one.
