i think i once heard something about a DRE because the laser got stuck. fake the lid shutting and see how the laser acts. i think i heard on the older ones its possible for the laser to skip a tooth or something and not be in sync, and a simple manual movement of the laser housing fixes it.
i vaguely remember this, dont get your hopes too far up but definitely search for info on it. it may have happened to you....i dunno. your problem doesn't sound like its the laser being dusty...
and i also have a ps2 that's a couple years old and still runnin' strong.
its a bit noisy because its the older fan design i think but 30 seconds of game play makes your forget and not even notice. but i have a fridge in my room to so little noises dont bug me.
