[QUOTE="snoslicer8, post: 422217, member: 19029"] This is an iMac, it doesn't need battery calibration. What you need to do is reset the PMU or SMC, whatever they're calling it now (Power Management Unit, System Management Controller, respectively). To do this, do the following: 1. Shut down the computer 2. Unplug the power adapter and ALL OTHER CABLES (USB, firewire, everything). 3. Hold down the Power button for AT LEAST 10 seconds. To reset my friend's, I hold it down usually for 20-30 seconds. 4. Plug everything back in, save the power cable for last. 5. Power on the computer. This process resets the PMU or SMC, which is the logic board chip that controls how your Mac sleeps/wakes, among many other things. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
