Hello,
I had the same problem with an asus vivobook x510. Orginally without backlight keyboard. Then I changed to a keyboard with backlight.
I tried all the methods with bt.exe and bt2.exe to enable that feature in the BIOS. Nothing worked.

Then I found an Russian forum. They fixed the backlight problem with "WBT.exe".
I am not allowed to post the download link here. Search in google for WBT.exe or WBT-314.zip. Or message me.
Mod Edit - Link Removed

1. Unzip the WBT-314.zip folder to "C:". I don't know if that's necessary.
2. Choose X64 or X86 for your sytem.
3. Create in that folder a text file. Write in: WBT.exe -C CNFG / W DD 7C
4. After saving rename the text file from ".txt" to ".bat"
5. Open the .bat-file. The cmd-window opens briefly and closes again.
6. The keyboard backlight should work now
