[REQUEST] Asus ROG GL552VL BIOS Unlock

[Piing]

Hi. I have the Asus ROG GL552VL. I have one problem since Windows Update forced to automatically update the BIOS to the latest version #304. The new BIOS 304 has an issue with Samsung SSD that prevents the laptop from starting, so I had to downgrade the BIOS to 303 (using afudos) and disable System Firmware at the Device Manager to prevent the BIOS to be automatically updated again.

The laptop is back to life after downgrading to 303, but now the keyboard backlight is not working, even though ATK Package 1.0.0061 is installed.

Is it possible to unlock or hack BIOS 304 for the GL552VL to solve the issue with the Samsung SSD?
