Ok, this is kind of embarassing, but I had my computer, in my backback with a computer sleeve, fall off of a 4 foot high table, onto the floor. I thought it got through the episode unscathed, and now I've noticed that the battery doesn't come out... the latch doesn't really want to move (it used to be kind of spring loaded), and even if you can get it moved, the battery doesn't come out... has anyone had this kind of problem? I don't even know what position the latch should be in before I start shaking it or something.
this isn't the worst problem in the world I suppose, but I was the kind of person that swapped 2 batteries in and out for long stretches at the coffee shop...
