PS3 40 gig blu-ray drive

Well I was playing Final Fantasy 13 and left my ps3 on for a few days. I finally come back to turn it off but it will not shut off the traditional way. So i turn off the ps3 with the switch on the back. Turn it back on and realized shortly that my blu-ray drive was not working. So I disassemble the drive and searching for the problem bam I see it. The lens for the drive developed a bubble. So i try to remove the lens with no luck (no tools) and stop to think of another approach. So I decide to try to move the lens and crack!! The lens falls into the casing. So now im worried and remove the lens completely and examine whats in front of me. The lens is almost like a crystal ball or glass ball of some sort. Except the top of the lens is flat. (minus the bubble) Then I see that the lens cracked on top when I moved it, that's what made the lens able to be removed. Have to buy a new one anyways. But yea very interesting how the lens looked and the fact that the game was on for a few days (no more than 3) and the lens literally had a bubble on it.

I did try to see if it was possible to push the lens back down and no way. Lesson here is....... DONT LEAVE YOUR PS3 ON WITH A BLU-RAY DISK! ^_^;
