Illumination bar not working / lighting up after update 4.4.4 kitkat

[Kartton]

After using an unoffical app from the playstore, to control the LED Illumination for M2 (D2303)  it stopped working completely, I even reset the phone using the PC companion. It won't show up for powering the phone on, any Sony app and all unofficial apps can't get it to work again.

The m2 does not have a light bar across the bottom of the phone like the sp does. It has a small led strip that lights up for various notificatios when the phone is in use.

Ok I'm back after some reaseach.

It seems that the update that Sony gave us for our Xperia M2s are rom bugged with the Andriod 4.4.4 KitKat Upadate.

I have flashed the 4.3 update which is Jelly Bean and the Illumiator bar working 100%.

Loaded up Albums and a pic of Konata and it blinded me with a long bright blue light.

Guys, mine too. But just press the off tiny button inside the flaps beside the sim slot. You'll see there's an off indicator their use neddle to turn it off. Wait for ten seconds then turn it on with the power button and your illuminating bar will work.
