well my friend, seeing as how I had to send mine in for repairs for similar reasons I can tell you exactly how long it will take, how much it will cost, and what a wast of money it would be if you sent it in.
1.it will cost 120.00 dollars for you to send it in for repairs.
2. the only thing that is wrong with you ps2 is it has a "dusty lens"
3. when ps2 was released last year they were rushing them out to feed the shortage, in the process they were putting faulty disk readers in, could it be related to you problem, probably.
4 you will get it back within 4 weeks because the problem was so minor you could have done it yourself.
I had to send mine in about 5 months ago and I guarantee you, after the new 90 day warranty runs out, it WILL do the same thing over, so my recommendation to you is to go to walmart and say you got itfor a b-day present but you lost the receipt and you just want to exchange it for a new one becuase yours is faulty, if they agree when you get your PS2, MAKE SUR YOU HAVE THE 30001R model, thats the newest model they have made:)
after 3 months my ps2 started crapping out agin so i took it to my work "K Mart" and just switched it for the new model, works like new lol.
EDIT: i have no clue where your from so if your from the U.S. follow my word 
, if not DOH!
I guess your one of the lucky ones - imagine getting a brand new, untampered PS2 for your old one. Now where do scam one from?
