I have had an external dvd player for my macbook air 2018, since I bought it. All of a sudden, It is not reading any external device. I even tried it with another. Both external players are LG.
Any advice?

Hello becrjs,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having issue using an external DVD player with your MacBook. There are a couple actions to try and help sort out this issue. First, have you tried restarting your MacBook or booting up into Safe Mode to see if it's detected? If not, please start there.
