The soft keys (menu, home, back, and search) on my phone (galaxy s, sch-i500) won't work.

I just got it yesterday from a friend who didn't have the same problem.
Today I was on it and it was starting to go dead. I noticed I couldn't press the buttons, but I thought it was being weird because the battery was dying. When I got it on the charger, I had the same problems. Anytime I tried to use my bottom buttons, they wouldn't work. I can't back out of anything or go to my home screen.
I've turned it off and have done a factory reset and taken out the battery. It's not connected to a cell phone plan, so the status of calling and messaging is unknown.
Is there anything that could help? Is the problem fixable?

Welcome to Android Central! Does the rest of the touchscreen work?
