Yep, I checked the cables and connections as well. I had already replaced the PRAM battery trying to sort out another issue, but I read online somewhere to power down and unplug for 15-20 minutes. It did the trick for me. Oddly enough, someone else mentioned a cold climate. I do live in Salt Lake City, and had just relocated my office a month ago to a room in my house that's cooler. I thought that might be a good thing...
