  • 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.

    • Answer Windows just hates watching DVDs for free, using a third party software is how you can watch the movies off of the drive. The drive is not what requires the subscription. I personally use VLC off of the microsoft store

  • 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

  • QuestionCan I use this with a Microsoft surface pro?

    Asked by Couch.

    • Answer Hello there, Couch. Yes, you should be able to use the LG SP80NB80 Slim External DVD Drive with your Microsoft Surface Pro as it is compatible with Windows 10 and earlier versions of Windows (7, 8, 8.1, Vista, XP), which includes your Surface Pro. The device connects via USB, but please note that the specific model comes with USB 2.0 connectivity, so if your Surface Pro has a USB-C port, you may need an adapter for compatibility. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-sp80nb80-slim-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs If you need additional support setting up, feel free to contact us via @LGUSSupport on social media.

  • QuestionI recently bought a newish HP laptop with Windows 10 upgradable to Windows 11 but all my software is on disks. Can I use this LG External disk drive to load software onto my laptop?

    Asked by James.

    • Answer Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the compatibility of your LG 8x External USB Double-Layer DVDRW/CD-RW Drive (GP65NB60) with your HP laptop. We can confirm that this external drive is designed to be plug-and-play with Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems, allowing you to read and load software from your existing discs. To ensure a stable connection during the installation process, we recommend connecting the USB cable directly to a high-power USB port on your laptop rather than using an unpowered USB hub. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-8x-external-usb-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-drive-black/JXTZZLCVZK For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on [email protected]. —Renzo

  • QuestionI can't get this to play DVDs (3 different movies) or CDs. I get an error that says "Oops! Your version doesn't support this feature." and then they try to upsell me PowerDVD 23. Shouldn't the software it comes w/ support the features it advertises?!?!

    Asked by Ldpmail.

    • Answer OP here. I'm not sure why the LG response states the included software does not come with PowerDVD, this attached screenshot shows that it is installed on my laptop (from the software included). Nevertheless, I called LG's support # (it's listed numerous times in these answers) and they recommended the same freeware in the response here from LG (VLC media player). I was up and running in about a minute. She explained that sometimes the DVD drive is plug & play but sometimes it isn't, and that can sometimes happen with Windows 11. Seeing as how the reviews and questions go back several years with many people having both good and bad experiences playing DVDs, it suggests this isn't just a Win11 issue. Perhaps machines that already have a DVD player are plug & play but I would not count on the software that comes with this product to do the job any reasonable person would expect.

  • QuestionIs this compatable with Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chrome 151JL6?

    Asked by RJ.

    • Answer Hi there, RJ. Thank you for reaching out! We understand you're looking to confirm compatibility between the LG SP80NB80 Slim External DVD Drive and the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chrome 151JL6. Based on the system requirements for the LG SP80NB80, it supports Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, but there isn't specific mention of Chrome OS compatibility. While it's possible that the drive could work with your Lenovo Chromebook, it may require additional steps such as installing appropriate drivers or software for functionality. Please note that Chrome OS is typically more limited in terms of external device support, so it’s recommended to test the drive directly or consult Lenovo’s support for compatibility specifics. For a smoother experience, we suggest using the device with a Windows or Mac OS X system, but feel free to try it and let us know if you need any further assistance. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-sp80nb80-slim-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport if you'd like further guidance or have any other questions.
