I'd recommend opening it up but seeing how you totally overlooked the DRE stickied thread at the top of the forum, I'm not sure if you should.

How to fix it is in that thread. If you do be careful when you take apart the outer case - just slowly, carefully pry it open - because the power ribbon is connected to the case.

I wouldn't really worry about it. Just get a PS3 when they come down a bit in price and then you'll be fine.

I wouldn´t rely on buying a PS3 for compatibility purposes because it´s being made by software emulation, which has a lot of flaws. I´d rather fix the good ol´ PS2 instead.

Just use a laser lense cleaner. That's what I did, and it worked for me.

Perhaps you can try on using a Lens Cleaner.
