Try the Open Firmware resets.  These, for some reason, correct lots  
of strange problems.  It's where I always start.  Simple and often  
works.

On startup, after the chime, hold down these 4 keys:  CMD (apple),  
Option, letter O and letter F.

When told to release the keys to continue, type the following three  
lines.  NOTE:  the dash is necessary.  It should say OK after each  
return.

reset-nvram (return )

set-defaults (return)

reset-all (return)

The machine should then reboot and startup normally.  Good Luck!
