There is no easy solution to this problem, I'm afraid. The best thing to do would be to check on eBay and replace the iBook's keyboard. Or, you could remove the keyboard, remove the key caps, and try to put the keyboard and the key caps in some soapy solution. Then, rinse, and leave it to dry for 2 or 3 days. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] choke v.: 1.
