LG- Lifes not so Good with this product

Hengistgromhydig 3/22/2024

I bought this several months ago and havent been able to get it to work. Followed all the troubleshooting instructions on the LG website to no avail used other troubleshooting instructions- nothing. Called LG and the rep said theyd send a return email so I could get another in 3-5 business days. That was 5 a week ago and nothing. Still waiting for the RMA label. So I basically flushed the money down the toilet for a device that didnt work out of the box. Pity. I really need a Blu-ray player.

Still works as intended

QuietlyWorkingAway 12/10/2023

Ive had this drive for probably 8-10 years now and it has never let me down. I typically use it with BD-R 25GB and DVD+R DL 8.5GB media because higher capacity discs are just too expensive for me to justify the cost. In todays age of disposable products its nice to see something that not only does what it was designed to do but also lasts a long time.

Works are expected might need system twiking.

Manuel S 3/20/2023

After the fifth BD burning the drive failed to complete a burn. I first attributed the failure to the disk but after the second consecutive failure and not recognizing the drive with BD disk I knew has to be the burner. A cycle of disabling/enabling the drive didnt resolve the issue. A bit of research turned swapping SATA ports could be the fix. In my case it was so. The unit has the latest firmware. Not certain if burner or stem is the issue.
