Have you tried turning it off then on again?
Are you sure it's plugged in?

Getting a new keyboard for a laptop is tricky.
In all seriousness, DAS, the best way to dry out electronics is to leave them under a desk lamp overnight - they don't get too hot but are warm enough to remove most of the moisture. Trouble is that orange juice is sticky and it could be the residue that is causing the problems.
If you were very brave I'd suggest removing the individual keys of the board (some laptops can do this, others can't very easily) and wiping with a damp cloth the area underneath.

Well I put it under the lamp and the ondition of the keyoard has now improed onsideraly.
Well, kind of.
Eery key is working properly, apart from X, C, V and the stupid little `key (thank goodness for harater Map). So now I know where the orange juie deided to settle down and now I need to work out how to get rid of it!
