There is some pathological state that Macs get into sometimes that cause the
port to be reported OPEN at boot up but it is CLOSED.  In essence it is
out of phase.  The only solution I have seen anywhere is to unplug the 
machine and remove the battery from the motherboard and wait for
the capacitors to drain (days?).

This may be a crock but I read about it somewhere.

Hopefully you will get a better answer!
