Happened to me during the PS2 gen a lot. I think I broke 2 PS2s. I say I broke them because I kept playing pirate DVDs that my dad used to bring back in bags full from China and I used to also use action replay. I think this caused the laser to burn out quicker.

However, whatever the reason may be, I learnt my lesson. Since then I always trade in my console for a newer model instead of waiting for the old model to die. I did it with the PS3 with the exception of the ugly model they released right at the end and I've done it with my PS4 by getting the slightly newer one.
