You took it to the garage to get the dust blown out?????
Eeee---eeewwww you are a cruel man! Couldn't you just have just gently cleaned it with a PC hoover???
Not surprised it is not working at all now!
I think you might have been right about the laser not reading the info properly in the first place and it is quite possible this was due to dust, dirt and general minginess (I clean mine once a week!) preventing the 'eye' from picking up the info on the disc. A gentle....note how I said 'gentle', Worf!!... vacuuming would have been sufficient.
Think you may have blown its brains out!

Best thing to do is to get it sent away....is it still under guarantee? If so, then just don't admit what you did because it will likely invalidate it and you will end up paying! If not, then just ring up the service centre and tell them what has happened!
The number for both case scenarios will be in the back of any PS2 game manual!
And Worf.....today is NOT a good day to die, not for PS2s!
LOL!
