I would disconnect everything including the power and then remove both RAM sticks - noting which was on the top and which was on the bottom. Why the keyboard isn't working isn't yet clear. The Mac can't find any bootable OS X due to corruption or hardware failure.The keyboard isn't working since all of the shortcuts get handled from the firmware in the Mac.Here is what you know from your excellent details:

Sadly, there are no Apple Stores or Genius Bars in my country, so feel free to point to any and all self-help resources I might use. It was working fine minutes before I shut it down and then suddenly refuses to boot and I am at a loss as to what to do. I made a copy of the OS X Recovery Disk onto a USB but am unable to use it as the Mac won't boot from it (and won't bring up disk selector to select it). Holding Cmd-V does not bring up verbose boot. Holding Shift does not put it into safe mode. Holding Cmd-Opt-R-P does not have any affect. Holding T does not put it into Target Disk mode. Holding Alt while it boots does not bring up the disk selector.

It does not respond to any key combinations. I tried unplugging all cables, including the power, reconnecting only the power and attempting to turn it back on with the same result.

There is no cursor or anything else on the screen. After it was shutdown I pressed the power button to turn it back on, it proceeded to play the startup sound and then froze on a white screen.

While using Windows 7 (via Bootcamp) I shutdown my 27 inch 2011 iMac. I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting and this problem sounds like mine except that I have an iMac, not a MacBook.

I tried again, removing the cables to the HDD as well and the same thing occurs. I have now tried opening the iMac and removing the cables to the SSD, it still gets stuck on the white screen.
