  • Questionhow will this work in my 2023 equinox without one thanks

    Asked by jimmy.

    • Answer Hi there, Jimmy. Thank you for reaching out with your question about your LG SP80NB80 Slim External DVD Writer. We understand your situation regarding using the drive with your 2023 Equinox that doesn’t have an integrated DVD drive. This external DVD writer is designed to connect via USB to a compatible computer—such as a laptop or desktop—rather than being built into a vehicle’s entertainment system. If you’re planning to use the SP80NB80 in your Equinox, a helpful troubleshooting step is to verify that your vehicle’s USB port supports power and data connectivity for external devices. In many cases, you may need to use a portable computer or media interface that is compatible with external drives. Once connected, please check that your device recognizes the drive (you can do this by reviewing the device manager or system settings) and install any necessary drivers or software from LG’s support resources. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-sp80nb80-slim-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs For more detailed guidance on integrating this external DVD writer with your device setup in your Equinox, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. Our team is more than happy to explore possible solutions with you and ensure you have the support needed for a seamless experience. —Renzo

  • QuestionDoes this CD player interface (plug and play) with a car stereo system for a 2021 Honda Pilot?

    Asked by Brett.

    • Answer Hi there, Brett. The LG SP80NB80 Slim External DVD Drive is designed primarily for use with computers running Windows or macOS. It connects via USB and does not have built-in TV or car stereo connectivity features. Most modern car stereo systems, including the 2021 Honda Pilot, do not support direct USB DVD drive playback. Car audio systems typically require a built-in CD player or support USB flash drives, Bluetooth, AUX, or Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for media playback. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-sp80nb80-slim-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs If your Honda Pilot does not have a built-in CD player, you may need a dedicated car CD player with USB compatibility that is designed to work with automotive systems. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll be happy to help. —Renzo

  • Questionwill this play on a ipad?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there! The LG SP80NB80 Slim External DVD Drive is not directly compatible with an iPad because iPads do not support external optical drives via USB. iPads lack the necessary drivers and file system support to recognize and play discs. However, you could use a Mac or PC to access the DVD contents and then transfer files to your iPad via AirDrop, iCloud, or a file transfer app. If you need a DVD solution for an iPad, consider ripping DVDs to a digital format using a computer and then transferring them to your iPad for playback. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-sp80nb80-slim-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs For personalized assistance, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport.

  • QuestionGEEK SQUAD CHOSE LG ultra slim Portable DVD WRITER as COMPATIBLE WITH LAPTOP WE BOUGHT THE SAME DAY to watch dvds offline. Tested great! During power outage, did not work, now we need subscription. What can we do for free? Why didn't GS warn us? Garbage!

    Asked by cmull.

  • Questionwhy am I getting this message (CyberLink Power2Go does not support the current screen resolution and DPI setting.

    Asked by penny708.

    • Answer Hi there! Thank you for your question regarding the CyberLink Power2Go error message on your LG SP80NB80 Slim External DVD Drive. The error message you’re encountering, "CyberLink Power2Go does not support the current screen resolution and DPI setting," is likely due to a mismatch between the display settings of your computer and the settings that Power2Go is optimized for. Specifically, the screen resolution or DPI (dots per inch) setting might be set to a value that Power2Go doesn’t support. Here’s a troubleshooting step you can try to resolve the issue: Adjust your screen resolution and DPI settings: On Windows, right-click on the desktop and select Display Settings. Scroll down to Scale and Layout, and adjust the Display Resolution to a supported value (typically, 1920x1080 or similar). Under Scale and Layout, adjust the Scaling to 100% (recommended for most users). This should help Power2Go work without issues. If you continue to encounter this problem, please feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll assist you further. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-sp80nb80-slim-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs We understand your situation and are here to help! —Renzo
