Hello,

Can you please advise me in installing my "LG 16x Blu-Ray/DVD Writer Super Multi Blue BH16" to my desktop PC? I don't know where to connect the power cable as it's tiny.

PFA 3 photos, the 2nd photo is of the Blu-Ray drive with the unconnected white power cable - is it the red connection in the 3rd photo I need to connect it to? Problem is, it doesn't reach :( Help me, people of Tom's Hardware, you're my only hope.

Thanks,

Chris

It will have a SATA power input and a SATA data cable. It connects just like a DVD device. First, run the CD/DVD that came with the Blu ray in order to install the drivers.

Then take a look at the existing DVD drive and just swap the units. The SATA power must be connected to a SATA power cable from the PSU, and the SATA data cable must be connected from the Blu ray to a suitable SATA port on the motherboard. Then enter the BIOS (EUFI) and make sure that the SATA port (Blu ray) is turned ON.

Restart the computer.
