It didn't sound like you needed to clean your laser although you could try. I think your laser is probably getting worn out/dying out hence the unsuccessful number of times you couldn't boot up your games. Since you don't have another PS2 to try your games out, which I would suggest you do when and if you get the chance, the only alternatives I can really think of would be to clean your laser like you suggested (although I doubt this is the problem) or you can think about getting a laser replacement. I heard the v12 laser is the most fragile out of all slim PS2's laser because of the v12 laser fix you should get if you ever do decide to mod it or just get one in general.
Edit: I personally have a v15 slim PS2 but the only thing I really hate about it at the moment is the overheating issues that plague it. I would consider looking at a place like teammodders.com if you live in the U.S. for a laser replacement if you're thinking about getting one. Teammodders is a highly recommendable and reliable site regarded around this forum as one of the best. Personally, I play to replace my old fat PS2's laser but not for sometime but eventually. As for what you can do, the only thing I think cleaning your laser will do at this point would be prolonging its demise and just squeezing out every ounce of the laser's life as much as you can although it helps extremely if you clean the dustiness around and in your PS2 because dust can hamper performance if you don't bother cleaning your slim PS2 for awhile and if it's in an open space.
