I need a help for my ps3 - it doesn't read discs anymore

[Traceable]

Hello people,

Alright, I was playing Uncharted 3 (goty edition) online, the game froze on the loading screen only after 1 hour of gameplay. I properly shut down the system...but the whole thing froze after that. I hold the power button to forcibly shut it down. While doing that, I stupidly pushed the eject button.

After turning it on, the PS3 doesn't read any disc (CD, DVD or BD). It makes the ejecting sound 5 seconds later after putting the disc in.
I always keep the PS3 clean and my discs are super clean.

I did the Restore File System thing but no luck.

Should I use the known lens cleaner?
Factory rest will help (aka delete everything)?

PS3 Slim 250GB. Got it in Jan 2010.

I would open the unit and clean manually everything with isopropyl alcohol.

Yes but you need a hardware flasher (E3 flasher for your console).
