Followup:
I finally got around to reassembling the iBook over this weekend since it had been in pieces around my room for about a month. I took it into Ye Olde Campus Bookstore Apple Shoppe this morning at 9 AM and they had the appropriate charger in the back room. Plugged it in, and the orange ring came on and the battery charged up to about 90% capacity in just under 2 hours.
Came back and booted it up to OS 9. Good. It turns on, and the battery holds a charge (verified by green lights and Control Strip). Airport works too, so does the DVD drive, and the RAM is actually 384 MB, so not as much as I had hoped.
The bad:
1.) No sound -- neither speakers nor headphone
2.) No backlight
3.) I still don't have my own charger cord
