I really don't think a bad laser is that much of a problem fix, I just remembered that when my cousin's ps2 stopped reading discs, he actually bought a new laser for like $15 and was even able to install it himself. I did some googling and it seems like you can even buy ps3 lasers as well.
In the case of my ps3, it wasn't even turning on anymore.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
