Installed the new 10.7.3 update and now my Mac mini is stuck at the white screen with no apple. My immediate thought was to reset PRAM, so I plugged in a keyboard and nothing. It will not recognize my Apple keyboard, or an alternate 3rd party USB keyboard I have.

I can't press any keys, so I can't do any of the usual keystroke solutions. I tried unplugging it, removing peripherals, trying the Apple RAM it came with, changing outlets.... Nothing.

The fact that the keyboard isn't working scares me. All signs point to a hard drive failure, the computer isn't reading ANYTHING. It sucks that the hard drive would fail randomly during a routine update, so maybe it's the firmware update that bricked it?

I'm going to the Apple Store ASAP but... Any ideas? I am completely stumped.
