thanks very much for your help. After I posted that message, I went to a site called psxworkshop.com and I did the troubleshooting there, and found out that you can get an Audio Lens Pickup piece from the Sony Store for about 10 - 15&#36. When I looked up close, I saw that it is the top lens part. There is nothing wrong with the mirror underneath it. So i think i will go and get a new Audio Lens pickup at the Sony Store and that should help. Thanks for your help.
