I had similar problems once.  The Mac has a paper/tin foil rf shield on the 
bottom of the mother board.  Somehow it was shorting out a few pins.  I know
it is coated with non-conductive paper on the mother board side, but  replacing
it stopped my Mac from being very sad.  I'd tried everything else short of
replacing the motherboard, and this did the trick.  (Besides, it only costs
a few bucks).
