Hi, 

and whe you write

f[kampas_?NumericQ]:=(u[\[Xi]] /. First[sprendinys1 =
 NDSolve[{Derivative[2][\[Psi]][\[Xi]] == (\[Xi]^2 - energija)*
            \[Psi][\[Xi]], Derivative[1][u][\[Xi]] == \[Psi][\[Xi]]^2,
 \[Psi][\[Xi]min] == 0,
           Derivative[1][\[Psi]][\[Xi]min] == kampas, u[\[Xi]min] == 0},
 {\[Psi][\[Xi]], u[\[Xi]]},
          {\[Xi], \[Xi]min, \[Xi]max}]] /. \[Xi] -> \[Xi]max)

and call

 teisingasKampas =
    FindRoot[f[kampas]==1, {kampas, -0.04, 0.04}]

all works as expected *and* your code is better readable.

BTW: Can you avoid postings with Mathematica's special characters ?

Regards
  Jens
