Hi,
Isn`t it possible to take it apart and get it cleaned and dried then put it back? I know I read somewhere about somebody who spilled a beer and another spilled coke, in his powerbook. It is a long time ago though... But again, an iBook keyboard can be cheap on eBay. If you take some time looking around, it pays off. I saw one a little while ago at $20, which ended a little while later.
Take a look here: http://search.ebay.com/ibook-keyboard_W0QQsojsZ1QQfromZR40
While doing that search, I also saw a seller selling skins for the iBook keyboard. That seems just great... I think I will get one...
Aase :)

Now the keys, specifically those on the left side, stick and take a second or two to come back up. What is suggested to fix this problem? Any liquids that won't hurt it?
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.
