GU501GM Keyboard Back Light Off After BIOS 3.13 Update - Solved

just upgraded to BIOS 3.13 and lost control of keyboard back light. I was able to turn it back on by rebooting three times; however, it immediately turned off when i started windows. I have tried to downgrade to 3.12 (using winflash /nodate); however, when windows starts, i receive an immediate "system failure" message from windows, and the system restarts and the bios is automatically restored back to 3.13

as a fix to the BIOS 3.13 system, I have completely reinstalled the aura core systems. if i run checkkb in the lightning folder, it returns - 4zone. Therefore, the software appears to be communicating with the keyboard.

Any help would be appreciates.

i did install the windows aura core software as suggested in another thread.

found the issue. apparently, under the AURA settings screen there is a new option "AWAKE". for some reason, it was set to "OFF". This feature had not previously functioned. I shifted it to "ON" and everything is working.
