it looks like the lens burned, but your happen to somethign really strange.
generally it doesn't make a noise, just stop reading them.
sony repair mine for free but it was on a 1 year warranty, by the way the guy that repair it told me that they are manufacturing new lens more resistance since the 80gb was introduced.
and the one he installed was likely not going to die.
