playstation 2 (ps2) disc read error!?

help! we are getting a disc read error for all of our guitar hero games which worked fine until today. we put in a bunch of games, dvds, and music cds which all get disc read errors as well.

the last time this happened we had it shipped to sony for repair (5 or so years ago) and they fixed it up for free. is there any way this can be fixed by us? it sucks.

we have a lens cleaner disc, but since the ps2 can't read it, it won't work.

please help. (its the old one, we got it the day it came out.)

thanks for all your answers.

Update:

i vaccumed it out as best i could, but i didn't take it apart. it actually read the lens cleaner disc after this, but it still won't play the games!

if the only option is taking it apart then my dad is gonna have to do it!
