WHAT!!! I have been dealing with this for like 1 year 2 months. CONNECT.. DISCONNECT... CONNECT... DISCONNECT ethernet plug in.... Tried going to switch my Wifi back on instead of Ethernet and realized it had no ON/OFF option... kept it like this until I was sick of it! THIS METHOD WORKS!!! ONLY THE BLUE TAPE! I also recommend, for neophytes like me, when you finally unscrew everything.... Pull up from bottom, then at the top, when all has been released, pull towards yourself, don't keep pulling up.... it'll break. Anyways, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKED!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Had tried many other fixes and was going to buy a Firestick or Roku to be able to stream, but this fixed it! Thank you!!!! Can you tell us why this works?
I'm thinking with the ribbons all twisted, crimped etc.. it probably conducts more heat. And when you have heat in electronics you have trouble. Lots of it. Which accounts for some able to use tv for awhile then it will fail after some time. Once the TV heats up then the WIFI fails. This just happened to a second TV. But I applied the fix and it worked. Done this on two TV's now. This is a huge problem for LG that seems to be unresolved. I would not buy another that is for sure.
Me and my husband were about to throw out this damn tv until I found this video! Thank you so much! Since we bought the tv we were never able to connect to wifi… 5 years later. We finally did it! You are a hero! 🎉
This worked on my LG 65SK9000PUA which was very easy since there was only a few screws on the bottom and only one hard to find where the power cord connects. Simply slit the blue bundling tape on cables and straightened visibly crimped cables and reassembled back. Thank you! I didn't need to replace the Wifi module that I bought on ebay for 20 bucks.
I've the same problem. Saw lots of perhaps solutions but it didn't worked. But... How dafuq cutting piece of tapes could solve it? I can't believe it but I'll try actually
My 60” LG has been doing this for several months if not a year now😡it’s u set two years old. I won’t be buying LG again if they aren’t “ checked” before leaving the manufacturer. Plus it seems they are making 12 months only electronics , it’s all about making us have to upgrade🤬 I’ll try this idea tonight when the internet is disabled … again
I had the same problem tbh my wifi would work after 40 min i disconnect i ve on on wifi its was off tired turn it on and it wouldn’t let me id had to tuen of the tv n on again it would work for anther 40 min and same problem again ive strapped the done that and its same problem again
I've been having all of these internet problems that are mentioned at the beginning of this video and after doing this they are fixed! My mind is BLOWN.
This also works if your WIRED connection is having issues disconnecting periodically. Ours would not last through a film- always needed to restart the movie at least once. Still happened after I replaced the router. Replaced the cable, connected the cable to a secondary router I use for IoT devices, none helped. Wifi always says "turned off". I did a reset of all settings (annoying), wifi came back but no networks visible, and once connected via the wire, Wifi no longer available again. Finally took the time to do this fix and BOTH wired and wifi are now connected. Streaming apps respond faster, and have yet to see a "Disconnected" message. Unbelievable that LG's quality control would miss this. Thank you, thank you, thank you Edward in TX.
That totally fixed my issue! My TV kept indicating that I had to turn WiFi on...but there was no way to do that. It would not populate the list of available networks. I followed your clear instructions...it was like magic. Thank you!!!
A little more than 20 mins when you have to find all the hidden screws 😅 but I just took it apart after nearly breaking my tv unscrewing it from the wall 🤪 hopefully this works
so there is signal cross talk in the taped wires? if i remember right, this happened in computers sometimes with hard drives and cd players. so the wires are not insulated enough. thank you, i will try this.
Wires were shorted, stopping the antenna from receiving signal. Similar to wrapping a modern car proximity key in foil and trying to open the car door (doesn't work)
This is troubling. Are you saying this happened to a 3 year old LG TV? Because I just fixed two LG's doing this but they were manufactured in 2017 and 2018. That is 6 and 7 years old. But yours was built in 2021? I figured they would have fixed the issue by now. LG is hopeless. I'm starting to think even the new ones sold today are still knackered.
This is fantastic info and the video is outstanding. I have been battling this problem for a long time and tried the many, questionable, actions on the internet and utube. This works ! Thank you for sharing this !
I'm mind-blown, you saved my TV, I was about to buy a new one. Thank you so much. But I don't get it, why does the default cable management cause issues in the first place, what changes by letting them loose?
Unbelievable!! This worked. 2 minutes to disconnect wires to the TV, 10 minutes to follow all the instructions given, and another 2 minutes to reconnect wires. Less than 15 minutes total and the Wi-Fi is back up and running. Thanks so much for posting your video, it was extremely helpful.
Why does this work!? It fixed my tv but I dont understand how just separating those wires would do it. The connections were all secure, so it doesn't make sense to me but I cant deny that it somehow works!
Super Fix !!! Absolutely thankful Bro for taking the effort to making the video. My TV was unable to connect to my Wifi and this fixed it for good. was able to update the webOS and now it feels like a new TV altogether.
LG is a piece of crap should have gone with Samsung! Thanks for the video worked for a while then stopped again and now unable to connect at all. Called LG who said that wifi receiver needs to be replaced unfortunately out of warranty and that piece of shit is expensive.
Bravo !!!!!! You are the only one who provided a fix. I tried that non-fix method ("settings": "general", of changing the location to Canada, then resetting the location to USA, then "automatic"etc.) several times without success but with plenty of frustration. Many thanks for your knowledge and instruction. 7/20/2024
i wasn't able to remove the backcover because the wall mount screws are too tight. What I did was remove the plate that covers the IR and power button and then jiggle the wires. Alas! It works!
@@plenticupcakesfull6411 try again you never know, I also watched a video on here first before I took it apart, you go to settings then location and change it to Canada then it resets the tv then did it again and chose USA so not sure if that helped too. The TH-cam guy name is Smash Engineering and it’s called LG SMART TV WIFI CONNECTION ISSUES SOLVED, hope it helps.
OMG!!! It worked!! For 2 years I’ve been trying to get my tv to connect to my Wi-Fi wireless!!! This worked!!! Thank you so much 😊
Awesome!
How crazy is it that you have to do this just for wifi to work. Ugh.
Fr
I know right. Mine is mounted on the wall😢😢
Can’t believe that worked thank you so much bro appreciate it
So the problem is due to some interference??? It worked though 😅..thanks brother.
correct!
Thank you very much
Glad it helped!
OMG!!! It freaking FIXED THE PIECE OF S***!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RIGHT ANSWER...😄🤯

Five star review! Thank you so much. We spent hours trying multiple fixes that didn't work. Saw your video and thankfully our TV is now fixed!
Yay!
What about the tape is causing this issue?
IT WORKED!!! How did you figure that little fix would work? YOU'RE AWESOME!!!
الصراحة الطريقة ممتازة وزبطت معي🎉🎉

So who is the Mo Ron at the LG factory ? I'd like a word with him . I think I'm going to up grade to OLED and this is the perfect excuse .
Why does this work? Technically, it's a workaround. What is the defect that is being fixed here?
it really works thank you very much bro really appreciate your video
😃👍
Awesome!!!
I had the same problem tbh my wifi would work after 40 min i disconnect i ve on on wifi its was off tired turn it on and it wouldn’t let me id had to tuen of the tv n on again it would work for anther 40 min and same problem again ive strapped the done that and its same problem again

How would I fix it if it gets blurry and then goes clear again ? The blur is horizontal lines
Try this it worked for me 👍🏾
Sir,
I just want to know that why it is happening and how the trick working. I want to say what is the cause and effect?
Is this a Sanyo Smart TV
LG
Sir it only work for one day for me, what should I do?Already done the fixed like in your video
I was surprised it worked. Thank you 🙏🙏
Edward, amazing!!...you're the best!!...thank you so much sharing this.
@@mauriciocasella7449 glad this helped!
Insane that this is the only fix what a shitty tv! But your smart for figuring this out
Wow! Such an easy fix. Found the wifi network as soon as I turned on the LG TV after I uncrimped the flat wires as shown. Thank You!
nice!
Applied this 2 times.... Both times worked!!! Thanks a lot... Saved me a few bucks....
Perfect fix and saved me from buying a new TV, thank you!
glad it worked!
IT WORKED ON MY LIL BOYS LG SMART TV omg after like 4 years, it worked for a few months in the beginning then it stopped 😮

Can you help me?I have a lg smart tv from 2014.I need a Wifi dongel AN-WF100 for free network.Where cain find that.

I was giving up hope, tried all the other suggestions, none would work and then this... Thank you
Awesome!!
Thank you very much!
I opened my TV, it looked different but I applied same procedure and the problem was solved 🎉
very good!!
Yo ,i just fix it,big up to you man! thanks a lot
Wow. I would never guess this. It work for me! Well done. LG should be ashamed. This should be software issue not hardware
agreed!

Thank you it worked 😮😅❤🎉
Thx so much it helps me to fix my tv
Wooow thankyou so much for your help I just fixed it...
nice!
I get as far as the wifi menu, when I click on wifi the pointer freezes and the tv searches continuously. Does this fix this type of error?
I haven't seen this, but I would imagine it would either be wifi or main board
This fixed the TV i was minutes away from replacing. Why does this work???
Wires were shorted, stopping the antenna from receiving signal. Similar to wrapping a modern car proximity key in foil and trying to open the car door (doesn't work)
You saved my 1300₹ 😃 Thanks Edward!!
nice!!
Do you think this is the culprit for the lg lw5700 3d smart tv?
it would be either this or replace the whole wifi module
Thank you so muccchhh!! ❤🎉

I'd open the tv at the back then i only cleaned it with a paint brush and it works.
very nice!

same problem as the iPhone 7 antenna issue where touching the edge would result in no service, except with 3 back to back wires

Hey, thanks this worked for me. Go figure, unwinding the cable!
Before you take off the back cover of the TV try banging on the back cover where the wifi is located. I did this and it worked for me.
I will try this. Hope it works. Thank you for the information!
It really work thank mam .You're just awesomen It's really great tutorials
Why does this fix the TV? Interested
wires tapped together probably short the antenna and kill the ability to receive signal
