Guys, I found this at the "PS3 FAQ for Beginners" thread. Hope this helps:
There have been several cases of lens problems with PS3. While there is no solid explanation for these lens failures (one theory is the overheating of the lens), I'll just list down some of the best practices recommended by our community here.
- if possible, remove the BD from PS3 before you shut it off (advice from Bernard of GS)
- in any case of freeze/lockups, eject any disc in the drive first before attempting to restart the system. This will lower the risk of the BD drive problem
- a few have theorized the questionable quality of pirated DVD movies may overly-stressed the BD laser leading to failures, best avoid them
- as always, don't place the ps3 in a closed off cabinet with restricted airflow. make sure the placement of the ps3 don't block any of its vents.
- Try not to place your PS3 on the same level that you place your front speakers. The sounds generated from the speakers regardless low or high volume will cause some low or high vibration across the AV cabinet or table panel and this might have a negative damage impact on the BD mechanism lens and it parts (especially when the lens is in reading mode, the sensitivity is much greater to any shock or vibration)
oops, sorry... text too bold

Anyone tried to send it to Sony Malaysia before? RM200-300 is okay if I can continue its useful life. Forget about voiding the SG warranty, it's a hassle for me anyway and never considered SG as a warranty option when I decided to buy the unit.
So, it makes no difference at the end of the day
I don't have component cable mmm...have to find one
