First, open the external casing.
You'll find an "internal" CD/DVD drive, connected to an adapter, and the adapter connects to the USB cable.
Now, look at the adapter -- it could be a "parallel-ATA" interface, or it could be a "SATA" interface. The new CD/DVD drive will have to have the same connectors (data and power) as the adapter.
You might have to exchange the SATA device for a Parallel-ATA device.
If you have a parallel-ATA CD/DVD drive, look at the back of it.
There is a tiny jumper, and a few labelled settings:
* MA(ster)
* SL(ave)
* C(able)S(elect)
Move the jumper to the 'MA' setting, so that the USB-adapter will recognize the CD/DVD drive.
Connect the drive to the adapter.
Close the case.
You're good to go!
You definitely should call LG--your new gaget isn't working, and it is under warranty. Or try going to their website to see if they have any software upgrades--sounds like you have a bummer, and perhaps a reinstall from their website will do the trick.
