    You somehow managed to break your DVD-ROM drive?

    Assuming the part did come out of the drive, I think you have a good excuse to purchase a shiny new slimline DVD burner. Newegg generally has NEC burners at a good price, well under $100. They're trivial to swap in on the zv5000 series, all you need is a #0 Phillips screwdriver. Don't forget to unplug and remove the battery before making any such hardware changes though.
