LG's Slim Portable DVD Writer (AP70) is not connecting to my Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.11.6

LG's Slim Portable DVD Writer (AP70) is not connecting / does not show up on my desktop or as a

connected disc under "Computer" when plugged in - it worked fine when I first bought it, but now, after

a long period sitting on a shelf, it only makes a small noise when I plug it in to a usb port on my

Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.11.6 - any advice on how to get it connected / working would be

appreciated . . .

MacBook Pro 13", OS X 10.11

Turned out, as suggested by a prior poster, all that was required to get my Macbook Pro to connect to the LG Slim Portable DVD

Writer (AP70) was to insert a DVD into the LG Slim Portable DVD Writer and the Macbook Pro immediately recognized the external

device & played the DVD.
