Took some compressed air to it (and the rest of the unit) and then lightly swabbed the lens.) Put it back together and voila, worked like new. Took all of ten minutes.

Risky in that yer screwed if you break something, but good if you are impatient like me.
Nothing more to add, other than I did this exact same thing with my PS2 a few months ago and it's worked a treat since.

Oh, yes. Be careful when taking the top off as there is a ribbon connecting the power and eject buttons to the main circuit board which could easily break off.

Tech TV did a segment where they taught you how to open up the system and adjust the lens height. Here you go:
Open up your PS2

Good luck...

Just an update to my previous post, I got my PS2 back today (well, not exactly mine) they sent a refurbed unit, less than a week after it was assigned to a tech.

VERY happy it is back before XMAS. Haven't tried it yet, want to let it warm up a little, cold here in PA today :)
