Re: Snow Leopard Install Success! Nope, I always keep my iMac display brightness at the lowest setting. After doing the 10.5.8 update all of a sudden it would always boot to full brightness, I had seen that I was not the only person experiencing this problem. I would have thought though that installing Snow Leopard would rectify the problem but it has not unfortunately. |

Fix for this is to keep your iMac on the Lowest brightness that isn't zero... in other words, 1 notch above it. For whatever reason, 10.5.8 doesn't remember 0 brightness so it defaults. Set it to 1 notch and it'll remember. A fix is on the way. |

| Thanks so much for the tip! I set the brightness just a drop more than the lowest setting and it works just like you said. Much better. |

I've been escalated via applecare, and the fix is "don't worry about it"
There are some problems Apple is unable to fix, and I'm fairly sure it's a low-level problem related to the HW interface and power management.
