Try holding down the power button for several seconds. That should force 
the iBook to shut down. The previous model (the "late 2001" version that 
I have) has a reset button, though it's very small--it's next to the A/V 
connector. I don't think that the 700 mHz model has one. As I recall, the 
reset button is a good way to tell them apart without checking the System 
Profiler.
