So here is a whole story. I spilled just a little bit of orange juice on the keyboard of laptop (trust me, not a lot). System was running fine except for when I pressed key "e", it'd type "ex" and "x" did not work right. So I pull up all keys, clean entire keyboard on my laptop (of course gently, I've been working with computers since 1998). Everything is fine, nothing damaged. Then I turn on my VAIO and 4 green lights come up (power, caps, num, scroll lock) and that's it. The screen is black, and I dont even hear the harddrive working. What could I possibly do? I did not take apart VAIO so, any suggestions?

Just a second ago I tuend it on and the screen "VAIO, powered by Intel" comes up and that's it. WinXP does not load

Whats probably happened is that some of the orange juice has leaked into the internals of the notebook, and may have damaged the motherboard. If this is the case, then it will be expensive to fix, often about 50% or more of the cost of the notebook. If you are under warranty, you may able to get Sony to repair it. Just don't mention that you spilt some juice on the notebook.

P.S.: I spilled like 10% of a cup on it only -
I think the rubber is there to prevent any sort of electrical contacts from the keyboard touching the motherboard. Is the hard disk on the notebook connected properly. If you disasembled the notebook, check ny connections that you may have had to disconnect. It may be a problem there. But if the notebook worked after, then the motherboard probably isn't damaged after all.

Ok, laptop is fine now (I dryed the keyboard), but here is another problem. Where could I buy little plastic thingies which go under the keys on keyboard cuz when I was pulling up the keys, two of the plastic things under it broke

You can find it on eBay. Someone sells seperate key there and they might have it.
My VAIO FE-790 stopped working :(
