If you're talking about battery recalibratiom, which is the first thing I found, I don't think I can. Any post I see on it says to drain the battery as the first step, but I don't have a clue whether it's using any battery power while unplugged right now. So I'd have to hope the battery is draining and hope when I plug it in that it wouldn't be saying it's at full charge.
Edit:
I'll have to quickly look and see if it's under warranty. I've had it for less than a yearso it's possible, but I don't know if the refurbished ones come with warranty like the new ones. Will definitely look into that.
they have the regular warranty. it's basically one of their selling points.
But also: have you tried unplugging the battery and reconnecting it? maybe the connection is a bit flaky
I didn't try because there were a couple ribbony clip things on top of it and I didn't feel comfortable removing them, but I'll try that next chance I get.
yeah, understandable. the ribbon is there to help pull it out. it pulls out sideways, which is a bit awkward. You can check ifixit disassembly tutorial to seee how to best do it
While looking up warranty info, I stumbled upon the ifixit stuff and planned on following their guide, so I'm at least good there.
