Blank (lighted, but black) screen with cursor at bootup
iMac running Mavericks 10.9.2, went to sleep one night--tried to wake it the next morning, and ever since have had only a blank screen as described above. A hard restart includes a chime, the apple sign, the spinning wheel, and then a black UNLIT screen. Pressing a key or clicking the mouse illuminates the black screen and shows the cursor--just as mentioned in the title. Also, while the cursor is showing, I can hear error sounds if I press a bunch of keyboard keys.
Stuff I've tried:
1) Boot in safe mode: same results
2) Reset PRAM/NVRAM: same results
3) Boot to Recovery Partition & Repair Disk in Disk Utility: all of this worked, but restart included the same results
4) Re-install Mavericks from Recovery Partition: same results
5) Re-install Mavericks from Bootable Drive: same results
What's next?
Any help would be great! Thanks.
