How do I perform a battery calibration with my Vaio C series laptop with Windows 7? I tried going on the BIOS, but had no idea what to do from there. I've searched a few sites, but I can't seem to do the one where I change the power scheme or the laptop, because I can't find where I could do that (I guess Windows 7 doesn't have that option).
