Ayon CD transport problems

I have an AYON CD-2S, purchased new 3 years ago. About 6 months out of the 1 year warranty, the transport started to exhibit occasional reading problems.

A CD would be inserted, play for a short or longer while and then play would stop with the display reading LOAD!
This persisted on and off on a rather random basis until yesterday when it happened repeatedly. I turned off the player, let it sit for about 5 minutes and then proceeded to play 3 discs at which point the player would read the disc, start playing, stop, display read load, would read the disc, then the display would read LOAD.......etc. Same issues today.

Contacted AYON USA to find they wanted close to $1000 plus approx. $300 shipping to replace the Phillips transport! When I commented that I had every CD player I had ever bought in the last 30 years and that they all still worked and that I had never had a transport fail............I was told it was bad luck!

Having spent what I consider to be a huge amount of money to purchase the player originally, I feel as if I would be spending good money after bad to get who knows how much or little time out of my player with another transport.

Has anyone else had this type of failure from an AYON or any top loading CD player with a Phillips transport?

I have e Cds-1.  The same problem started with my unit about 6 months ago. CD would just stop.  Sometimes reload other times just make this ridiculous noise.  

‘I fixed it with a tiny piece of adhesive felt.  I cut the felt down to the tiny size if the small button that descends once you put the glass plate on.  Use tweezer for exact placement and delicately stuck the adhesive side to the top on the button.  The felt touches the glass plate when it is put in place.  The felt adds the addition pressure needed to the the button when it goes down into the unit.  

CD player is back to being the phenomenal machine I purchased.

Can’t seem to insert a picture for you.  I used the a small adhesive felt use to provide scratching from the bottom of a coaster or ceramic jar.  

Good luck.  Enjoy your system again.
