My first Grey PSH did exactly the same. It was still under warrantee and Sony sent a guy round with a new one. Now this one is starting to do the same. I honestly don't think these things were built to last. I notice that newer Playstations have a different CD mechanism, although my Yaroze seems to have the older type. I have been told (but I'm not sure how reliable this is) that some cheap CD mechanisms (especially in old CD players) are prone to condensation in the lense as the weather warms up.
