Yes I do know actually. I've had the same problem on my 60 gig backwards compatible PS3. Your lens is dying. You just have to crack open your PS3 and replace it. It takes about 15 minutes to do. Lens cost 60 bucks.

shit son, where can I get a lens?  I'd love to just learn how to replace it rather than sacrifice a fully functional PS3 that I could hook up in the living room or something. 

I'm not sure of any places near you.  There's a place in a mall across from Pacific Mall.  There's a place near where I live near Wonder Land.  And I'm sure there's a few shops in Pacific Mall that still does stuff like change drives and lenses.  Video Games Plus will do the change for you, but it'll be 110 bucks.  I'm not sure if they'll sell the lenses to you though.  There's one in MIssissauga, which may be near you (If I remember where you're living properly).
