as with all writers eventually they fault at the lens and it gets out of line and cannot read discs, you can try the usual thing of checking LG for any firmware updates, but first:-
Go to my computer>right click>hardware tab>device manager, then down list to cd/dvd drives and click '+' sign and highlight your writer, right click on it and select uninstall.
Restart PC and it will be automatically re installed, try again and if no change you will need to replace the drive as they are cheaper nowadays.

I bought the LG 20x external super multi DVD rewriter because the cd/dvd drive is not working in my HP PC. I connected up as instructed. PC said it noted new device.Inserted CD software.
Indicator light on drive flashed for a few seconds.
When I try to send pictures to blank CD in drive message says no CD/disc detected. A disc with pictures on is not detected either.This was the problem with the CD tray in the PC tower.
I cannot see the LG programme listed in my installed programme list.
Please give advice on what steps to take to get software installed and running.
Many thanks.
