Your pretty lucky dude that it didnt do more damage
actually changing the blu ray drive is pretty easy Ive litterally just took apart my old 40gb to see what im doing (the blu ray lense died) you can find many guide/tutorials on youtube that are very detailed, its more about being carefull and patiant, if you want to fix the lense then it starts to get complicated, but just replacing the drive is fine

heres one that helped me most , hope it helps!
Oh and edit: WFT how the hell did a leaf manage to get in there ha ha?

Sounds like a good plan, but where can you get a replacement drive, surely its really rare to get one with the same hardward specifications of your PS3?? seeing as the 40gb arnt manufactured anymore anyway...

He sells specific models on ebay, I know it's pretty dodgy trusting someone on ebay but he seem geniun and even makes a video on how to do it after, I doubt he would sell you a dud, I'm hoping to get one when i get paid this friday,and ill let you know if ive had a success and if he is trusted.

Ahh, cool, well let us know how it goes. its not that dodgy when you think about it, because there were probabily a lot of unused parts when Sony stopped production of their fat PS3s, someone has probabily managed to get a hold of them. or even possibily taken them out of 2nd hand consoles.
i had the same thing happen to my PS1 once and i just switched the laser with that of a different PS1 console, still works too !!
