Well, lucky me! I took the right battery out and found that the metal strut running along the front of the laptop was just popped out of place near the right end. Take a screwdriver, apply a little pressure, and presto! Battery slides in and works perfectly, and, better yet, the DVD-ROM is fully functional again! Everything else seems to be fine, except for some barely noticeable cracks here and there. I think it actually corrected an earlier event which made the flap on the right bay tend to stick. Thanks for the advice, though. I was actually thinking about making a hackintosh, but I think I'll wait for the iSlate now. That's the Mac I'd replace my Pismo with.
