Mine's stopped reading discs. Anyone got any ideas for fixing it besides sending it off? It's out of warranty so I am tempted to pop it open but apparently Sony are replacing some out of warranty...

My boys PS3 did the same called them up and explained the problem and they repaired FOC. They sent a courier to pick it up and it was returned the next week.
Couldn't fault the service from Sony.

I called them up and they told me it was out of warranty and would cost £150 to fix.

Fault with the blu-ray lens apparently fairly common, mate has had his go twice now and fixed each time.
