You can try resetting the pram (parameter ram), by holding down the 'p', 'r',
option & apple keys when booting.  You should keep hearing the mac boot chime
while holding the keys down, I wait for three of them.

Also, some models have a small button switch on the mother board (the "cuda"
button, named after the asic it originally reset).  Pressing this button will
turn off the mac and reset most things.
