It's a bit ostentatious

PS2 also developed laser issues if used that way, I can't recall PS3
PS3 originally had drives that failed anyway. Had to bake my OG, as well as replace the bd drive.
ps2 developed laser issues regardless. i've tuned and cleaned so many of those. should have charged but i liked my friends.
do you know if there was a way to fix the Dreamcast laser? I was like 19 when mine started failing and I think I just kept turning up the voltage pot a teeny bit to fix it for a while until it eventually burned out.
I do not know, but I learned the ps2 method by searching on the internets. I hate to recommend YouTube and reddit, but those are probably your best bets.
If the laser itself is not salvagable, there's always replacing the laser. I don't know if it's plugged or soldered in, but if it already doesn't work, what more can you do to it?
I gave it away years ago once dreamcast emulation became a thing, I was mostly just curious!
We had one that had to be cleaned every 3 months or so. The laser would begin sticking on the guide rails and have to be re-lubricated.
I'd just refocus or whatever that white knob did, and clean the dust off the lens
