I've never heard of this happening before.  But I can guess what  
might fix it.

First I'd try shutting down and then pulling the plug and letting it  
sit for a while before plugging it back in.  That might do it.

If not, try resetting the NVRAM:

1. At startup, hold down Option + Command + O + F
2. Type in "reset-nvram" , hit Return, "set-defaults", hit return,  
and then "reset-all" and hit Return again. (Don't use quotes, as I  
have done here.)
3. To exit Open Firmware, type "bye" or "mac-boot" (No quotes).
