I am not optimistic about fixing it yourself or finding a local repair
center who can fix it.  If cleaning is all that is required, those
units are easy enough to open up and see if there is any dust lodged
in the works. 

There could be numerous reasons why a machine would suddenly stop
reading discs.

I know 2 folks who sent their ****tables in to Sony and for $100 they
sent them back working like new.  I suspect they just replace the
entire laser system.  I've had trouble getting certain models
serviced, but the 480 is still being sold so it should be eligible for
Sony servicing.
