Posted .Hi, Galen. Thanks for sharing your experience with the LG DVD Drive (SP80NB80) model. We understand how important it is for your device to work right out of the box.
Before heading to Geek Squad, here’s a quick step you can try: make sure the USB cable is securely connected to both the drive and your computer, and try using a different USB port if available. Also, check if the drive appears in your system’s Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (Mac) — this can help confirm whether the device is being recognized. You can find setup guides and driver support here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-SP80NB80.AVAR10B. If you’d like further assistance, feel free to email us at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We’re here to help. ^Juvy
Don't buy this item.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not work as advertised. It tries to burn DVDs but spits out a blank disk. I'm running Mac OS 11.2 and have a 16 year old DVD burner that works fine. This thing also seems to be a gray market item as it has a two year warranty only valid in Australia and New Zealand.
