Notification LED not turning on and fails test

I edited the ini file some time ago to customize the LED patterns and had no problems with it, the edited file worked fine. However, since a couple days ago the LED has not been turning on anymore when it should, for example for charging or when I receive a message.

I have tried the following:

  1. LED test in CSD Tool: Fail, tested before, after and in between all changes
  2. Reboot: LED turns on, white, for a few seconds at the start of booting, then off again; above test fails
  3. Restore original ini, restart mcd.service: still fails test, remains off
  4. Manually set the brightness from /sys/class/leds/... : LED turns on as it should

Clearly there is nothing wrong with the hardware as each of the colours works (red, green and blue tested). The ini file I restored is the completely unedited original file that I kept as a backup. Yet somehow the LED won't respond when it should.

Any further debugging ideas or ways to restore the functionality? I'd hate to manually turn on the led every time I get a message...

Edit: Fixed typo.

This is what I have in the folder, bolded file has the edited patterns that I thought may be the problem. I have not touched the other files. Does something look suspicious?
