Hey, just to add to what laurent has said-- I would strongly advise AGAINST the use of soap- and just use water. why? If i remember correctly, most of the parts in the ibook were actually water-washed after the soldiering phase (and before the addition of microchips) because of flux residue. Soap may be too abrasive, but water will probably not hurt the keyboard. If you do any light "scrubbing" (and I suggest not, just repeatedly dipping, soaking, or a light rub) it may lift the vitals off the board. I'd give it a try though. Oh, and DEFINITELY wait for it to be entirely dry, laurent was quite right in suggesting 2 to 3 days. If you've GOT to have it faster, try a fan. (NO HAIR DRYERS!) --------------------------------------------------------------- I apologize for not replying to this sooner but I am have just been catching up on my email from last week. I would definitely recommend isopropyl alcohol over water. It will do a better job removing the soda and will dry faster and cleaner than water. If you do use water I strongly suggest that you get distilled water as tap water will leave more of a residue behind. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
