E-bay; buy a BD from a PS3 being parted out with a dead logic board.
If you're not savvy enough to use a set of screwdrivers and swap the drive out yourself, shouldn't be too hard to find someone who has assembled/disassembled a computer that can.
All your HDD data will be intact and the only thing you lose is the ability to send it into SCE for future repairs should anything else happen. SCE won't accept consoles for repair that have the factory seal broken.
I don't know if that was a typo, but how can you have a 40GB SKU that is 22 months out of warranty (assuming a 12 month standard warranty) when the 40GB SKU didn't debut until around November 2007, or 23 months ago?
23 months minus 12 months (time under warranty) would put it 11 months out of warranty, assuming you bought your 40GB SKU the day they became available.
