LG stands for 'lousy gear'
Tuesday, November 9, 2010 by Jafo | Discussion: Personal Computing
My DVD burner died in my current/new machine.
I know they're built to a price, not a quality...but I figure I've used it no more than a few dozen times in its life....but it studiously waited 'long enough' to be out of warranty.
They shouldn't kark it that easily.
Maybe it was getting all moralistic on me...as I was attempting to 'rip' my Nephew's music to MP3 [and I'd omitted to let the drive know I even had permission to do it].
I reverted to the second one....that still works [for now].
Maybe too it 'heard me' thinking I'd remove one of them to free up space for a new, swish HD and got all upset....

actually the best one on the market for the money is Samsung SH-223, i got one at Micro Center OEM for less than 25 bucks, and each one of them that i have purchased for my machines is still running, and i burn quite a bit

I guess i am lucky then it seems everyone here thats owns LG stuff it has died, i have mainly Sony Electronics, tvs, home theater, etc, and over 20 years or more i have NEVER had a sony product fail, in fact my walkman still works, dating myself with the walkman thing, but thats just me, and i do have the last name of Murphy, and Murphys Law is very active for me, Sony must counteract the LAW

not a fan of LG myself either, but i have to say i have an LG dvd burner and after 6 years and hundreds and hundreds of dvd burns and hard use this drive is still going strong. Only problem i have had is sometimes the tray gets stuck and you have to press the eject button again. As for LG phones. WORST PIECES OF GARBAGE EVER!!!. the rest of their stuff, no idea as i don't own anything else by LG.

I have had problems with 2 out of 3 lg screens. The last one has worked flawlessly for about 2 years, the others both had problems at delivery.

My mother-in-law's cellphones (2 of them). My father-in-law's cellphone. My father-in-law's HDTV. My father-in-law's refrigerator. My brother's microwave. My friend's cellphone. What do all these things have in common? They are all LG products that have crapped out in the last year, all less than a year old. LG is absolute CRAP. I wouldn't take an LG product for free.
EDIT: And my father-in-law's LCD monitor. Forgot about that one. Needless to say he was pretty loyal to LG (or it's prices), but I finally convinced him to stop buying it... it's all crap.
