certain keys stopped working on keyboard

My advise is be honest, go to Apple tell them what happened and see what they say.

They will fix it, but maybe not under warranty.

Sorry, but there are no user serviceable parts within the computer and it does void the warranty to open them up. Personally I think sites like ifixit are stupid as they give people the idea that these jobs can be done, when often there is an extremely high risk of damage.

Sorry, I can see any other way of getting it fixed.

well I took it to apple and decided to not tell them that I most likely messed it up voiding the warrenty.

So they fixed it by replacing the logic board. I dunno if there would have been a simpler fix or not though..

I still had warrenty so I wasn't charged anything. So now everything works.. I was able to correctly insert the ram this time and my mac is as good as new.

In the process of trying to take my logic board out I shredded the head of one of the screws, and also damaged the connecter for the sound woofer... but now the scews were replaced and also I assume the connecter for the sound woofer is fixed it being a new logic board and all.
