[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 34286"] [b]calibration[/b] Apple states in the manual that you are supposed to plug it in and charge it all the way (as trpnmonkey41 mentioned) then you let it run on battery until it shuts down by itself, ignore the low battery warning. Once it goes to sleep plug it back in and recharge it all the way. The Apple dealer where I bought mine opened it and installed the ram I also bought. They then plugged it in and did all the updates and verified the ram etc. I had a chance to also check and make sure there were no blemishes and that everything worked as it should and make sure that the screen did not have any dead/stuck pixels. It was basically charged all the way by the time that everything was done and I took it home and left it plugged in over night, then I let it drain all the way. Try recharging and calibrating yours and see if it changes [/QUOTE]
