It makes no difference whether you a have keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner etc plugged in.

Hmm. And I assume this is a new problem? What exactly happens when you try to start it with USB devices plugged in? I couldn't find any similar instances anywhere on Apple support. Have you changed anything lately?
