    I found the info on recalibrating the battery, (mine croaks at 40%) and I tried F9 in the boot menu, Didn't work, might not work on a MK1. so I tried F2, and startup utility is password protected :mad:

    Is there anything I can do?


    I'm sorry guys, I'm sure this has been asked before, I couldn't find it though. ans the forum search isn't the greatest. I would be happy with a link to another post if it has the answers.
