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.

My phone is Xperia M2 D2303. When I first bought this phone and it was running android 4.3 the LED strip on the bottom was workig normally while using the Album app. Now I'm runing android 4.4.4 build number: 18.3.1.C.1.13 and the LED strip stopped working. I go trough photos in the album and it doesn't light up. I tried factory reset and I got no result. Today I did a software repair using Sony PC Companion, but that didn't help either. I also tried switching the phone off using the button under the sim card flap and then turning the phone on, again it was for nothing. If someone knows how to fix this problem I would be very thankful.
