I would do a full backup of that SSD and then upgrade the firmware and do a secure erase. Once that is complete you can restore the backup to the SSD and everything should be fine. Also make sure you don't let the drive go to sleep, I even disable sleep and hibernation on the machines that I have installed a Vertex LE or Vertex 2. I am currently not running an SSDs in a laptop as I've had two Vertex LE drives fail in laptops.
