Sound like your laser might be dusty/dirty - this happened to me when my PSP was about six months old. Using a soft cotton stick and some alcohol solution, gently clean it then leave it for ten minutes. If it doesn't work after this you have a faulty unit and it will need to be returned for repair or replacement.

Yeah, I went to yellowstone and left my PSP in the car. When I came back it was about 90 degrees and the PSP wouldn't read my disk for 10 minutes when I first turned it on. :?
