I don't like second-hand consoles too, but Nintendo and Microsoft (and all other electronics manufacturers for that matter) don't use receipts for repairs, but serial numbers. I guess Sony likes its costumers angry and frustrated.
I will try the system restore option (first making some backups) and if that doesn't work, I'll call Sony. Who knows, maybe they'll repair it for free after all...
