I went to Staples and tried an external keyboard that they said was Mac-compatible. I couldn't use the command keys but the others worked fine so it was a hardware issue after all. I then went to the Apple Store and got an external usb keyboard from them which works perfectly. The only thing I don't like is that some of the keys seem to be different than on my macbook and the keyboard is longer than the whole computer. I'm planning on seeing how much Apple will charge to fix my built-in keyboard and my line-in and headphone jacks but for now, this will do. Btw, I have the Apple Care plan and bought this computer in December of 2009 so not sure if it's still in effect or what.
