Sorry to hear mate. When my machine died, I did a little search&research and found quite a bit of used stuff for ps3's around - and believe me mate; It's no trouble at all to change the bluraydrive. You'll do it in an hour.

if it was anything other than the blu ray drive i would take a DIY approach, i already headed off the YLOD by changing cleaning my system and re-applying thermal paste, however every ps3 blu ray drive comes with a logic board unique to said ps3 this makes the job a little more confusing and fiddly, I am quite willing to pay for the work when it comes with a warranty. Anyways hopefully i should now with revised finances be back online before new year.
