Why are my menu buttons (home, search, back buttons) not working?

The menu buttons on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 aren't working. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

I had this problem. I realized that it wasn't actually a problem with the tablet. The case it was in was putting too much stress on the tablet, and this inhibited the home and other keys. Once I took it out of the case, it was fine.

"Hi Guyz,

Its very simple way to get rid of this problem.You just download an app from play store named as

""Back Button (No root)"" install it and enjoy the functionality of all buttons like home,back etc.Its actually helpful if your androids menu main menu buttons are not working.

or you can search via browser here it is :-
