We rented a DVD and it had a black strip on the top that became partially detached during playback. That's when we first heard the noice. Now the DVD clicks all the time and has started skipping chapters or sometimes stopping completely. Is there anything I can do to repair this myself?

would not exactly agree with bose proposed solution, however easy to test......
borrow a dvd palyer of a different model and type , ensure that the output from the dvd player is set correctly ie. 5.1
you need to verify that the co ax you are useing is not damaged, faulty and is connected both ends correctly,
if bose give you some hassle get a spare set of cable to be sure the connect or to the co- ax is not damaged in any way.
lastly :
i suggest there is a problem with the on board decode for dolby 5.1, known as SPDIF = "S P diff " ( a system designed in conjunction with SONY and PHILIPS and used on nearly every 5.1 decoder sold in the world) easy to fix its usually a firmware upgarde or reset usually done in the factory, simple problem, could have been caused by electrical interference or unusual magnetisim problem post manufacturing or possible on site problem, however from your point of view impossible to prove either way.
must point out that analog cables don't carry a 5.1 signal. and also should point out that co -ax is not 100% necessary nor the only way to push a 5.1 signal into that bassbox.
check your cables first , then borrow a dvd player, then bring it back to bose and tell them to fix it. if its still wrong.

In short, you can. I did it last night. My Bose 321 DVD player is junk and it's always been junk, but I love the sound sytem. Last night, after the thing gobbled it's last DVD, I went through the whole, unplug, wait 5 minutes, plug back in, etc. and it still wouldn't eject so I ripped the DVD tray out of the thing with a pair of pliers, recovered my DVD, and slammed the tray back in, stripping all the gears and screwing up the motor in the process.
BUT, I disconnected the video cable from my Bose and plugged it into the video out on my el-cheapo Tru-Tech $99 DVD recorder. Then I ran the audio out cables from the Tru-Tech to the Aux 1 inputs on my Bose 321.
When I want to watch a DVD now, I put the DVD in my Tru-Tech, turn on the Bose, switch it to Aux 1, and I get a great picture and the Bose sound. Best of all, I don't have to plug and unplug that sorry Bose system everytime the wind blows.
They used the absolute cheapest DVD player they could get their hands on--a Toshiba model--for all the Bose 321 older models. Every single person who bought one has had these same troubles and they've made no offer to fix them.
This was my first and last Bose because of that and I hope more people stay away from Bose until they get their act together and protect their customers. $1000 for a system that eats DVDs like M&M's is ridiculous.

You just unplug the cord form the wall for 4 hours, after 4 hours plug it again. The purposed of unplugging is to dissipitate the
stored current in the memory IC so it will gone.
Good luck:

when this happened to me,,,I found out it meant that the video decoding ASIC was out....I could not get any DVD's to play to the TV, and finally, the "settings" menu would not go on the television screen....this means you need to have the mainboard replaced, and after twice doing this,,,,the Tech on the phone told me that the Video Decoding ASIC is very susceptible to power spikes,,,so I put a big APC filter in front of it....

How old is your remote? My bose remote was prone to breaking. The RF antenna inside the remote housing tends to break away from the electronics board. I have re-soldered mine on a number of occasions. This is not a complex fix for someone who can use a soldering iron. After it happened the third time, I installed padding around the antenna so that it couldn't shake around and break free. That seems to be working so far. Hope this helps.
