I've bought a demo/refurbished unit from Bose about 15 yrs. ago and been very happy. Now the tray is stuck. Thanks for this video I'll attempt surgery on the unit.
I'm having the same problem - can't get the nameplate off which means I can't get the front silver/green cover off, which means I can't get the black plastic top off...and no, the CD drive won't open. Any suggestions beyond just brute force at risk of damaging the thing permanently?
12cht I need to see how you took the unit apart? Someone I didn't authorize tried to pull the top off I think it is not centered properly! Doors been off for a year now and I've tried hooking up DVD player to Bose DVD player and it keeps saying no disk! If there's a way to do it like that plz let me know. thanks
I found that removing the Bose emblem cover is done by 2 tabs below it. As for the silver and green display plate there should be four tabs to push in underneath the unit itself. Use a flat head screwdriver. You must remove the top cover before you can fully remove the front silver plate. There are 2 tabs one behind the power button and eject button. Once you free these 2 you can remove the front plate. Carefully because I broke 2 tabs below the display.
Can you please show or explain how were you able to remove the faceplate of dvd tray without ejecting the tray. my tray wouldnt eject and am unable to open the faceplate without ejecting the tray. Thx for response
my 321 theatre that I cherish so muich what I did was put the movie I was watching on hold and forgot about for a few hours when I came back I realized it was still on hold now it plays a corrupted image with blurred readings on very cd I had played before I bruoght in a spare and the movies played so it is not the cd but the reader is like I said how do you repair???
Hello - I too am struggling - I cannot remove the front nameplate panel of the DVD drive which does not allow me to move further than removing the cover and security plate. Can you please advise how I can do this? Thanks in advance......
thanks. I was getting ready to toss my 321 after it being idle for 6 years. Now it is working fine. Of course finding a TV using S video is still a chore
Chris Barclay can't you use the RCA wires? I haven't fixed mine yet! Have apartment inspection coming up! Think I better clean up first but I did the RCA wires and get sound from DirecTV movie. But I want to eliminate that! Only issue and I don't know how it will work is Vizio TV doesn't have a tuner so I have to hook up converter box! I'm ticked off because what smart TV have to have a converter box. I mean you can record on USB but every time I've used one it doesn't work
Okay rematched I got it! But your saying too replace the drive? Why? Because after you took it apart still won't eject? What if mine does! It's becoming very expensive to cut the cord
James fish I went back to all these videos, I'm having a nervous break down! I think I'll just put it together and I can still get FM and show's on DirecTV. Tray is catching on the white wheel I put it together tested it and had to pull it apart anyone know where to get this part? Thanks
To remove the top cover, set the unit in front of you facing front. FIRMLY press down left and right side and slide the cover towards the back. It is a little tricky to do. This is a very common issue with this drive. The drive is not a standard drive. I was made for this system. Best option is to GLUE that gear to the shaft with construction adhesive. It may sound a little loud if the gear is cracked.
I've tried pressingg down REAL HARD but it's not budging. I'm worried I'll crack the top cover pressing down so hard on it given how old the plastic is. Any instructions?
@@chuckray8675 It is a bit tricky. Push the left and right side down near the front of the machine and push it backwards. There are only clips holding it on. The cover is pretty robust, it should not break. The latch holding it is in the very front. That is where you want to push down. It should let go and slide off. Opening the drive is easy, you will see the cracked gear. Use very strong glue. I used construction adhesive on mine and it still works fine today. I did this about fifteen years ago.
Nice video, i have the same system 321 series I. the subwoofer is not working because my transformer is bad. I cannot any info for the transforemer. the model is e2-66rtf-ns1-0242. Can you please tell me the voltage across the 2 brown wires coming from the transformer so i could fine a replacement. thanks a lot bro.

It was more like how to open the fucking case rather then how to fix the gay dvd tray and also talk. It helps .
