This is a strange one.  The keyboard light between the function keys is 
the number lock.
Open the cd rom drive by pushing the tip of a pen into the tiny button 
(little circular hole) right next to the regular open button (long 
rounded rectangular button).  Take the disk out.  Try resetting the 
PMU, which is, I believe above the power button with a triangle on it 
(actually, that's the reset button.  The real PMU reset in inside the 
computer on the logic board, but iBooks are not to be taken apart by 
the average user).  I am an apple tech and apple doesn't even provide 
the repair manual for these computers because they say that the only 
people capable of repairing them are apple's own repair folks at the 
company!  It has more to do with greed.

I didn't check the family number, but the iBooks that came with system 
9.0.4 are the Clamshells and that is what I am assuming you have.  No 
startup chime? Disconnect the computer with battery/power cord 
disconnected for an hour (a half hour should do), then hit the reset 
button, then the power button, if neccessary.  Keep trying.
