    I suggest you tighten the screw(s) that hold the ODD in place. I don't see what else could have gotten loose.

    Yeah, it's not a good idea to run with a running laptop in the backpack. You should check the HDD for errors, as a first step use:

    CHKDSK D:/f/x/r (check if any bad sectors)
    CHKDSK E:/f/x/r (check if any bad sectors)
    CHKDSK C:/f/x/r (requires restart, be very careful to check if any bad sectors since the summary only stays on screen for 1-2 seconds before the machine is restarted again)

    and so on all the partitions.

    Also download the HDD manufacturer's HDD test tool and use the SMART test.
