I echo Ben's last statement here, E.T. I'm not doubting you either, but can you be a bit more specific?
Steps taken: 1. Either press FN+F1 until you reach 0%, or go to system prefs, display, interact with the slider, and VO+Down arrow all the way to 0 percent. Sidenote, I'm doing this with the screen curtain disabled. 2. Reboot the machine. Perform these two steps either with the charger plugged in or not. It doesn't matter. Result: The screen returns to brightness level 100% upon successful reboot once OSX loads. Expected result: the screen should stay at the percentage set in the above two steps once rebooted. I see an option under system prefs when plugged in, or when on battery to slightly dim the display, but that's not what I'm attempting to do. I'm literally wishing to keep the exact same brightness level regardless, once the system fully restarts and is fully booted. Thank you for trying to help me trouble shoot this; your help is appreciated.

Bloomgren Sent: Monday, March 21, 2016 1:14 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Screen Brightness default I was able to reproduce Chris's problem. Neither the slider under system preferences, displays, nor the energy settings does this. Maybe with newer systems, it sticks. But with older macs, such as my Mid 2010 MacBook, and Chris's Late 2012 MacBook Pro, it does it identically the same whether you use the function keys or the system prefs slider. It resets the brightness to 100%. I also tested this on battery power, and it doesn't do it. The energy setting would just dim the screen slightly, whereas we're trying to literally maintain the exact screen brightness percentage after reboot. We're not doubting you, neither are we trying to make you look incompetent or anything. We're just stumped.
