Unbelievable. I feel like i work for a professional company after doing that. I literally cut the tape and straighten the wires out, gave up because there was nothing else i could do, closed it up and doubted it and BOOM, wifi was turned on, searching and connected. Appreciate this video 10/10
You are now a professional tv repairman! Would you mind please giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It will help me reach more people so I can help them too. Thanks!
Holy. Shit. It fucking worked... I did it literally in 5-10 minutes. The main connector was bent exactly like you said. You should create a venmo for tips. 🙏
This fix was so absolutely simple, but it gave me and my family MONTHS of anguish and frustration. THANKS DUDE, You're the real MVP! I'm never buying an LG again!!! 😂
This method is still valid in July, 2024. I have been trying to solve this issue, watched bundle of videos but all in vain. Finally came across this video and Boom everything worked. Thanks man, u made my day
exactly the same thing here. I'm really wondering so many people seem to have this problem but simple googleing only leads to absolutely ridiculous official LG FAQ sites ... they don't want you to repair your expensive LG TV!
I moved this TV to another room and tried to activate WI-FI for the first time. I can't believe the support that says reset router, TV, etc. All unnecessary. Your are a God. Thanks!
Thank god I found this video. I wasted 1.5 hours trying all these other videos doing resets and switching locations blah blah blah. Did exactly what this guy said and bam fixed. I bought this used for really good price and now it’s works perfect! Thank I subscribed just for help couldn’t find anything on the internet to help, Great job sir!
I’ve had my LG tv for two years, randomly tonight it stopped working out of the blue, for two hours I tried all the typical fixes like resetting my WiFi router, unplugging and plugging back in the tv; I even went as far to factory reset it, and nothing! I was so distraught googling answers until I stumbled upon this video. I popped open the back of my tv and found the wires just like yours, kinked on top of itself. I straightened them out and voila, tv worked again just like that!! Thank you so much for saving me from having to buy a new tv!
This video makes fixing this issue easy. The last time I did this, the WiFi worked for a year. The WiFi recently disconnected again and I have to repeat this process. I’ve learned to never buy an LG tv again.
You helped me solve a months-long problem in just a few minutes! Prior to watching your video I tried everything including buying a new router and I still could not connect. I did just exactly what you demonstrated--took off the back of the tv, straightened out the wires, taped them in place, reattached the back and danged if it didn't work! Thanks so much for posting this.
Same for me! Months of frustration finally at an end after I opened mine up and adjusted the ribbons. I can’t thank you enough to to finally have this problem fixed.
Unbelievable! I spoke to an LG representative last week. They asked me to do the usual, reboot, disconnect and to do a factory reset. Didn’t want to do a factory reset as a last resort. I had rebooted and disconnected numerous times. Saw this video and took the back off of my tv and voila! Straightened all the bent and kinked cables and it connects. Thank you so so much!
This actually works!!!!! We’ve had so many problems with our LG disconnecting from our wifi it was causing us all anger issues. I still can’t believe we opened the back of our LG and went through with this whole process. As soon as we turned it back on it was connected to our wifi. Holy mother of the universe I cannot believe after two years this was the friggin problem - crimped wires. Thank you, thank you for sharing.
Yeah it’s an easy fix... But should we really have to go through all this? Since the video helped would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it helps me reach more people. Thanks so much!
I spent MONTHS researching how to fix my wifi connection issues. Don't know how many times I restarted the modem, router, unplugged TV, tried changing networks, turning location off, calling help centers and Googling methods. I was about to plunk down another $500-$700 to get the same type of TV. Took me 20 minutes and I'm back watching Netflix for the first time in almost a year on my TV. THANK YOU!!
It worked. Most difficult part was getting the cover off (no wonder it wasn't shown) - but fairly straightforward from there. What a relief, and HUGE thanks for this.
Wi-Fi stopped working roughly 2 years after buying the tv. I tried every single setting, factory reset, etc, nothing worked. THIS worked, and only took about 15-20 minutes with simple tools. Thank you brother!
Yooouuuu legend, helped my friend fix his TV after months of frustration. Tried new network name, password, router, everything. This worked it wooooooorrrkkkkeeedddd DO IT and if you're nervous STILL DO IT, do it now!!!! The energy in the house is finally at peace, thank you TV Guru you've made many people happy with this video.
Aaaawwww thanks! I’m no guru… Just a guy that was frustrated and had nothing to lose. I spent days researching and problem solving. I had to try something so I just went for it. Glad it worked for you!
Congrats on the fix! It’s frustrating not to be able to use the WiFi. I’m glad it worked for you. Since the video helped would you mind giving it a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. Thanks!
I didn't believe it would work. We've had our LG TV for 5-years. We started having intermittent problems 3-years ago. This year we completely lost Wi-Fi. We knew that it had to be a problem with the TV because the TV couldn't detect Wi-Fi signals from my or any of my neighbor's routers. So, I followed your advice, straightened out the Wi-Fi and Infrared receiver cables and reinforced them with electrical tape. As soon as it fired up, I checked the network status. It wasn't connected, but it did see my router and a half dozen other routers. I selected mine, signed in, and it now works like a champ. As you mentioned, this is a manufacturing defect. Thanks for the help. You be the man.
Charles...THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I'm active duty military (Electronics Technician) w/ experience in CYBER as well! I can NOT believe the horrendous manufacturing of this one component! I thought LG was better than that! Dunno how you figured this one out, but glad you did...saved me a bunch of time, energy and money!!!
Omg my husband and I just did this to our lg I can't believe it!! IT WORKED!! Thank you so much i was about to throw this thing away lol. Only had it 3 years! 🙌🙌... thanks again! 👍👍
Congrats on fixing your tv! Would you mind please giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It will help me reach more people so I can help them too. Thanks!
Sir I can not thank you enough, I put up with the WiFi disconnecting all day every day for about 3 months, when I thought I would do a search on TH-cam and found your video. Your thorough explanation absolutely works. Again Thank You very much!
Yeah they used to be such a good company. I don’t know why they are sending out TVs with issues like this. Anyway I’m glad you were able to fix it. Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. Thanks!
I freaking LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE you!!!! For weeks my wifi was not working, after hours of troubleshooting, buying a wifi extender, and speaking to support, only for them to tell me I had to have the module repaired by a technician, I was able to do this in MINUTES!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Everything works perfectly now.
I’m glad to hear that it worked for you. It’s absolutely frustrating when tech support is of no help. If you would like to support my channel please “like” the video and subscribe to my channel. If you would like to leave a $1 tip my Venmo is Charles-Yamabe

Hey hru? I was seriously having issues with my wifi. Decided to get on you tube. searched and came across your channel and when I say it was a 100% FIX, MAN!!! my problems are solved, WOW!!! Thanks my brother from another mother.
That’s awesome dude! Yeah other videos have you going through hoops for nothing. This is the actual fix and it’s pretty easy. If you wouldn’t mind could you like and subscribe? It would really help me out.
Dude !! This worked but let me tell you as simple as a few screws sound make sure u remember which ones go in their spots also the search everywhere for any screws you missed ! . My top portion was difficult to pry off. But be gentle . Thank you so much for this video I am honestly super happy right now
I cannot believe this worked. I don't understand why this would make a difference. I tried everything in settings that was suggested. I was ready to throw the tv out and my wife came across this video. I was very sceptical but did exactly what you said to do and now it loads faster than it ever did with no issues to the wifi. YOU ARE AMAZING! Now the only problem is... It will haunt me why this worked lol.
I have a 70 inch LG with the same symptoms. After removing the back panel, I had to removal an additional panel across the bottom covering the wireless connections. Unkinked all the wire ribbons and she connected right up to my router. Thank you for posting this.
I might have the same tv as you with the same issue of no wifi. Can I remove the addition panel across the bottom of the tv while it's standing or do I have to remove the legs and lay it down?
With the back panel off and laying facedown, I had to remove the legs to release the cover. The wire ribbon was threaded through a support on the cover. Flipping the cover over made it easier to release the ribbon from the support.
@@CharlesYamabe not yet. It's a 70 inch tv and it's pretty heavy. I need some help to get it down and then some space to lay it down flat without damaging it. You think a pillow in each corner will do the trick to keep it from damaging when I lay it down?
Antonio, my wife helped me lift ours off its console. We set it down standing up, moved some furniture out of the way, and then laid it face down on some blankets. Most of the screws were the same size, but I kept sticky notes of which went where. Once the back cover is off, per Charles excellent instructions, the additional cover has four deeply recessed screws as well as the leg screws.
This worked! Thank you for your video! Out of the blue or wifi was "disconnected". We just followed your detailed step by step video and we are back online! Literally took 15 minutes including taking it off the wall! Thanks again!
I’m glad it worked for you and that you found the video easy to follow! Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Thanks so much. I tried everything and was about to get another TV. The fix took about 20 minutes because of the TV size (70 inch) and it was mounted to the wall. Well worth my time. It connected to wi-fi within 2 seconds. Shame on LG for not putting a recall on this issue. Thanks again!
I’m really amazed by all the people that seem to have this issue. It’s crazy that LG is sending TVs out like this. If you haven’t yet would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out. Thanks so much!
You the real MVP!!! I just fixed my lg "smart" TV with this video. Had issues off and on since I got the TV and finally it stopped completely. I did this with nothing but a basic screw driver and pocket knife and I'm by no means a mechanic and it's working like a charm now
Amazing. My wife was ready to throw this thing out the window. Worked right away after following this simple guide. Do take note of where you take screws from. Liked and subscribed!!!
Video of the year! I’ve tried everything. WiFi Router and modem, weird menu fixes and toggles, hard and soft resets, LG customer service - this video is the only solution that worked. Thank you, sir!
Yoooo! I’ve tried everything! I’ve done the unplugging of the TV for a minute. I’ve unplugged the Wi-Fi for a minute. I’ve unplugged both the TV and the Wi-Fi. I’ve reset the location and took off the automatic location and all of that, I got nothing. Well, I stumbled across this video and BAM, it worked like a charm. THANK YOU!
It worked, I straightened the folds where the ribbon connects to the clips from the mother board to the WiFi module, and boom! It worked. You’re a genius.
Thank you! I changed my router thinking it was routers messy internet managment, but then I realized it had nothing to do with the router.... This solution worked just fine, also it was really ease to do... Now we have at home a good router and a working LG TV
That’s awesome news! I’m glad it worked for you. Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
I followed the instructions and it worked exactly as shown. What bothers me the most is that LG, the manufacturer does not mention any of this as a problem or how to fix it. I wasted lots of time, plugging, unplugging, resetting, etc. etc. chasing this problem. Thanks for posting this video.
I’m glad you can now enjoy Netflix again! Would you mind please giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It will help me reach more people so I can help them too. Thanks!
7:00 pm. I'm 61 years old, been in remodeling for over 44 of them, doing everything under the sun, and have done numerous appliance/tech repairs as well. But I have to tilt my hat to this guy putting on this video. After watching it twice, I cracked mine open, did what needed to be done, as instructed,,,, and omg, it worked! Hats off to this guy saving people all over money that otherwise would have given to some schmuck who wouldn't be as nice as this guy was to put it out there ,,, for EVERYONE to use, learn from !! Salute to you brother !!
I'm speechless! This makes no sense at all to me, but as a last ditch effort I gave it a try, and it worked. Our TV was acting as if it was under powered as it was constantly freezing up as if it was buffering. Sometimes it would result in the TV rebooting. We constantly saw the "wifi disconnected" followed by "wifi connected" messages, and it drove us crazy. I took the back off and it looked exactly the same as yours. I straightened the cables to the wifi unit and the darned thing has been working flawlessly for hours. There's some serious voodoo in play here, but it worked so I'm taking it. Thank you Charles.
Genius. It was really easy to take the back off. Yes the cables were bent and pressed over on themselves. Straightened out and boom, wifi is found! Saved me hundreds of dollars in repair fees. Very grateful. Thanks.
Having tried everything else and come to my wits end with persistent wifi & Bluetooth crashes i came across this video and with nothing to lose i gave it a shot. The relevant cables were bent and crimped but with a bit of finessing i got them into a more natural shape just like you showed. The TV now works perfectly 🤗 Hats off to you sir, you're an absolute legend!👌
Thank you so much for the SUPER THANKS! You’re the first person to use that button. It’s actually my first super thanks ever. I’m glad the video was able to help you fix your tv!
Thank you very much, Charles. I was a little skeptical at first but decided to try it since it worked for so many people. Great help, you stopped me from buying a new TV for now. What a great feeling it was when I finally saw the TV connected to the Wifi, you hit the nail right on the head. Very much appreciated.
Just one more person here, grateful for your video! My tv was not recognizing wireless networks at all, and was even freezing up frequently on a direct Ethernet cable connection! It was so aggravating! This fix was so quick and easy! Thank you so much!!!
100% works, so easy to do yourself. Only struggle might be taking the back panel off if you only have screws at the bottom (a different model TV). You can just run a flat screwdriver inbetween the edges and use slight force to get that back panel off. Great video 10/10 !
Yeah it totally works! Getting the back off can be a slight challenge but it’s not too bad. I’m glad you were able to fix it! Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
I salute you big time. Your video has served me. I was on the verge of returning the LG Tv to the dealer. It took me less than 10 minutes to have it fixed. You are a mensh!
I was so ready to blame somebody in my house. who messed with my TV I said!!! This immediately fixed my LG TV and as described the wire was crimped. Thank you sir for making this video .
It’s crazy that the wire is crimped like that. Would you mind giving the video a “like” and hit the “subscribe” button? It really helps me out! Thanks so much!
You are very welcome! I’m glad it worked for you. If you wouldn’t mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribing” to my channel that would be awesome! It really helps me out. Thanks!
I used this fix on a 2018 LG, which only recently developed a problem of not maintaining a wifi connection. The model was different from the video, but the issue exactly the same - folded wires. Solved my problem. And have no wifi connection issue. Thankyou so much for posting this video!
Awesome dude! I’m glad it worked for you! Would you mind hitting the “subscribe” button as well? It really helps me out and it helps my videos be seen by others. I’m just trying to reach as many people as possible and help as many as I can.
ปีที่แล้ว
I had installed a network booster before finding this fix thinking that was the problem and was about to buy a new WiFi module. As advertised took about 20 minutes. Thank you so much for posting this!
I cant believe this actually worked. I just followed the video, took the blue tape off and played with the cable for a second. I told myself there's no way this would work as it didn't even seemed like I did anything. Put the cover back on and now the wifi works again...incredible.
It really is incredibly easy. I don’t understand why LG isn’t fixing or preventing this problem. I’m glad it worked for you. Would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please “like” the video and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and helps me reach others with the same problem. Thanks!
I got this TV second-hand from a thrift store. I couldn't figure out why they would have gotten rid of it until I realized that half the time it wouldn't connect to the wifi at all, and the other half it would disconnect after 10 minutes. This video saved this TV and helped land me a stellar deal!
Aw thank you! Im not sure my wife would agree that I’m an angel? 😂 I’m glad that it worked for you. Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
Just had this problem on my LG uj6300. Carefully took the back off, cable was badly twisted. Straightened it carefully and taped it down. It worked immediately after putting it together. Thanks.
Outstanding👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 As an engineer, I do not understand how such a bad crimp in the cable passed QA inspection with so much room inside. The least I could have done is send out a service notice to all people who purchased an LG product with this issue.
TL;DR - This works and it immediately fixed my wifi issue after weeks of "Wifi turned off" issue. I don't ever commend know TH-cam videos. But after years of my TV randomly turning its wifi off and it being off for weeks now and not "resetting itself"... I came and followed this video.
You are awesome! Almost pitched a 55 inch LG tv because this issue. Came across your video and went step by step… it works now! Beers on me! Thank you!
I received a second hand LG 32LJ550b (2017) and the WiFi didn't work. Wow, after following your steps, it detected a WiFi signal - works now! Thanks, Charles.
Congrats on fixing it! Since the video helped would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it helps me reach more people. Thanks so much!
I did this to my tv and it straight worked, i wonder why people dont watch these kind of videos before sending it straight to service, its super helpful dude and u dont have to spend like 40 dollars
Awesome, I’m glad I could help! Yeah, I mean why not watch a few videos and see if you can fix it yourself? Since the video helped you would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please “like” the video and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and helps me reach more people. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this - first time the wifi worked on my TV ever. When I first bought it I never tried because I didn’t need a smart TV having an Apple TV attached. The constant device disconnect messages were annoying though. Uncrimped that cable and put it back together and it works great!
It was the exact same for me. I never needed to use my WiFi in the beginning. Then when I tried it I realized I had an issue. Glad it worked for you. Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
Unbelievable! Problem just cropped up slowly after many years (poor wifi and general remote responsiveness). Fix was easy and seems to have completely restored normal expected TV operation. Hopefully it will last! Thank you Charles!!!!
I can't believe this actually worked!!!!!! The inside of my TV looks a little different, but sure enough, the same cord was crimped. I'm shocked this actually fixed the same error message on my TV. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Thank you, this video saved me from buying a new TV. The back was more difficult to get off on my model. I had to gently break the seal on the sides by running a flat head screwdriver slowly up them. I had to use some force to open it. Once I opened it, it was exactly as this video explains. It worked for me!
Bro you the goat I was at my last nerve with this tv the WiFi kept going out I googled everything and finally found this video made it even easier my tv has a spot where the WiFi part comes off so I didn’t even have to take the hole back off my wires were all jammed up straightened em WiFi back thank god and this guy !!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful and works flawlessly! I raised a ticket with LG customer service for this and got a call from them. However I told them that I fixed it myself ( feeling myself as a mechanic 😀)
It worked. I had tried all the other options, nothing was fixing the problem, so i followed your advice in detail and the wifi is back on and we're making good use of the tv again. I'm so chuffed! Thank you for this brilliant video.
Haha yeah a lot of people share pure crap. I’m glad that this helped you. Since the video helped would you mind giving it a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. Thanks!
Awesome video. We had our LG TV for a number of years. Then suddenly bam! No connection. The error message states turn wifi back on. I searched for a button and went through every setting I could find, and still nothing worked. I googled it and every video I came across talked about how to setup a new connection by finding your wifi. None of them were of any help, until I came across this video. Sure enough, I found a bent cable and I gently flattened it. My husband was skeptical and hovered over me as I was taking his beloved TV apart but let me continue. We got it setup and tested it to find success! Thank you so much!
For those in the Philippines, who are probably watching this video bcoz of their LG TV wifi problem: I swear by this tutorial, it really worked! I just followed the instructions, slowly removing the tape from the wires, and straightening it out gently making sure i will not rip the connected parts. We were really desperate with our LG TV.. it has been months, and the other techniques initially worked, until just months ago, all those tricks did not work anymore. Thank God for this. we did not have to worry about bringing it to a repair shop, especially now with the pandemic ( too scary to go out). Thank you so much once again!
It absolutely works! Since it helped you would you mind giving the video a “like” and hit the “subscribe” button? It really helps me out! Thanks so much!
Thank you!! This helped! I had fewer screws to unscrew, and I had to pry the back panel off with a screwdriver. But otherwise, this video told me everything I needed to know!
My problem LG was a 4 yr. old 49in model with the exact same issues. WiFi goes in and out with periodic messages to turn WiFi on. I was ready to call for service as my TV was still under warranty as it was purchased from Costco. Before doing that, I did a search to see if I could find someone with similar issues. To my delight, I found your video. My TV’s insides were somewhat different from your setup, but it seemed obvious which were the WiFi wires. The wires were crimped in two sections. I uncrimped them, reassembled the back and returned to service. WiFi has now been operating without problem ever since. Thanks for your video. It saved me a lot of time and aggravation. I HAVE BOTH LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks so much for this video!! Worked perfectly and was super easy. I tried all the other tricks from other videos and nothing worked. I was afraid to go this far until I saw your video. I figured it already doesn’t work, so what do I have to lose. Barely took 10 minutes and I was back in business! Thanks again😁
You’re welcome! I literally have that same approach when I try to fix anything. If it’s already broken what do I have to lose? Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
Wow. Thank you so much for this video. I first called LG and after a factory reset she basically told me my tv needed service or I could hardwire it with an Ethernet cord. I followed what you said and it worked!!! I’m so grateful. I wish I could hug you!! Thanks a million.
Sweet! I'm glad that the video worked for you. Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
It worked I had the same problem when I opened the back cover of the TV I fixed the bent wire and the connection network lists appeared where as before there was no wifi network connection list. Thanks man... I can finally watch Star Wars Acolyte and other movies without any problems.
I face the same wifi connection problem with my LG tv and I so worried about that and then watching your video I fixed it same as you did and it works , thanks for that you saved my pocket, appricated thanks
Works! I followed these directions, but in addition to, i removed the internet card (with vinyl gloves on to avoid any skin oil getting on the card), and sprayed it off with a can of compressed air. How is it that folded ribbon wires can prevent something from working? I never would of thought it
I had the same issue. I was going to by a new WIFI module. I even had it in the cart and went to checkout. When I saw how much they wanted for shipping, I decided to look for another option when I saw this video. I can't believe it, but it actually worked. Thank you for posting.
I do my best to serve the people. 😂 Would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to help more people. Thanks!
After eight years and a lot of stalling by LG Netherlands I decided to follow your instructions. My 49UH850V has the WiFi component in a different position. Straightened out the cable et voila: WiFi is working. Thanks a bunch!
😃 No problem! Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
You are AMAZING!! All other “fixes” just talk about unplugging and restarting everything. None of that works. People…..BE BRAVE AND DO THIS CAUSE THIS REALLY WORKS!
Crazy! Have an LG49UJ6300 TV that is about 2 yrs old and we had it hooked up to a cable service and so never needed to use the WiFi capabilities. Switching to TH-cam TV and now getting the wireless WiFi message about "No Internet.. blah, blah, blah" and no networks listing. So off to Dr. Google. Tried the other video suggestions - turn off/on Router, turn off/on TV, Reset TV to factory defaults. None of those worked. Then saw this video. Decide it was worth a try. Opened the back of the TV and saw the twisted cables. Straightened them out and then gave it a try before putting the panel back on. It was magic!! Our networks were discovered and listed immediately!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! This works everyone :-)
Im so glad it worked for you. In this day and age I feel like we all need WiFi. Especially those of who decided to ditch cable. Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
I can't thank you enough for this video!!! I've been dealing with this issue for the past two years. Even had the wi-fi module replaced for free with LG warranty. Still after 6 months it stopped working again with the "WiFi is off" error! After that LG would not pay to fix it again. I resorted to getting a Roku stick - which worked well (though I was very annoyed that I needed to use it for streaming) for a long time. Then it happened again - boom I couldn't even get the TV to work via the Roku stick. And oddly enough, sometimes the LG wi-fi would work sporadically. This was an EASY fix just as you showed. LG should have fixed this long ago for all of us like you said. I was seriously thinking about getting rid of this TV and heading to Costco to get a new one. You saved me a lot of $$$ - THANK YOU!!!
OMG!!! IT WORKED! 4 yr old LG wife just quit. We tried all the other stuff. I was so scared to ttry this. But it freaking worked. It took longer to get the t v on and off the wall and remove the wall mount brackets from the back of the TV than it did to do the repair. You are a ROCK STAR! saved me from dropping 800 on a new one.
Thank you so much! I’d buy you a 🍺 if I could. This worked & it is the only fix that will work. However, you will need a spudger or gentle pry tool across the top to get the back off on newer TVs. The screws really have to go back in the slots they came from or else the backplate won’t seal well. You will spend less time in the case uncrimping wires than taking the backplate off and on.
I’m glad I was able to help you out! Instead of a beer would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it helps me reach more people. Thanks so much!
Unbelievable. I feel like i work for a professional company after doing that. I literally cut the tape and straighten the wires out, gave up because there was nothing else i could do, closed it up and doubted it and BOOM, wifi was turned on, searching and connected. Appreciate this video 10/10
You are now a professional tv repairman!
Would you mind please giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It will help me reach more people so I can help them too. Thanks!
Holy. Shit. It fucking worked... I did it literally in 5-10 minutes. The main connector was bent exactly like you said. You should create a venmo for tips. 🙏
This fix was so absolutely simple, but it gave me and my family MONTHS of anguish and frustration. THANKS DUDE, You're the real MVP! I'm never buying an LG again!!! 😂
Glad to hear it worked for you
Same lg is really trash
Don’t buy their stoves or fridges either….. they suck!

exactly the same thing here. I'm really wondering so many people seem to have this problem but simple googleing only leads to absolutely ridiculous official LG FAQ sites ... they don't want you to repair your expensive LG TV!
I moved this TV to another room and tried to activate WI-FI for the first time. I can't believe the support that says reset router, TV, etc. All unnecessary. Your are a God. Thanks!
Thank god I found this video. I wasted 1.5 hours trying all these other videos doing resets and switching locations blah blah blah. Did exactly what this guy said and bam fixed. I bought this used for really good price and now it’s works perfect! Thank I subscribed just for help couldn’t find anything on the internet to help, Great job sir!
Glad it worked for you! If you would like to donate $1 my Venmo is pinned in the comments.
You are a genius! The WiFi on our LG has never worked, your solution was easy and immediately fixed the problem. Thank you!
My wifi had never worked either. Glad to hear you were able to fix your tv.
I’ve had my LG tv for two years, randomly tonight it stopped working out of the blue, for two hours I tried all the typical fixes like resetting my WiFi router, unplugging and plugging back in the tv; I even went as far to factory reset it, and nothing! I was so distraught googling answers until I stumbled upon this video. I popped open the back of my tv and found the wires just like yours, kinked on top of itself. I straightened them out and voila, tv worked again just like that!! Thank you so much for saving me from having to buy a new tv!
You’re very welcome. It’s crazy that the wires can cause that issue but at least there’s a fix.
This video makes fixing this issue easy. The last time I did this, the WiFi worked for a year. The WiFi recently disconnected again and I have to repeat this process. I’ve learned to never buy an LG tv again.
That’s odd that it stopped? I haven’t had any issues since making this video
@@CharlesYamabe Some people don't get ALL the ribbons perfectly flat so it certainly can come back.
You helped me solve a months-long problem in just a few minutes! Prior to watching your video I tried everything including buying a new router and I still could not connect. I did just exactly what you demonstrated--took off the back of the tv, straightened out the wires, taped them in place, reattached the back and danged if it didn't work! Thanks so much for posting this.
You're extremely welcome! Glad I could help
Same for me! Months of frustration finally at an end after I opened mine up and adjusted the ribbons. I can’t thank you enough to to finally have this problem fixed.
Unbelievable! I spoke to an LG representative last week. They asked me to do the usual, reboot, disconnect and to do a factory reset. Didn’t want to do a factory reset as a last resort. I had rebooted and disconnected numerous times. Saw this video and took the back off of my tv and voila! Straightened all the bent and kinked cables and it connects. Thank you so so much!
Oh the dreaded factory reset! I tried that myself in the beginning
This actually works!!!!! We’ve had so many problems with our LG disconnecting from our wifi it was causing us all anger issues. I still can’t believe we opened the back of our LG and went through with this whole process. As soon as we turned it back on it was connected to our wifi. Holy mother of the universe I cannot believe after two years this was the friggin problem - crimped wires. Thank you, thank you for sharing.
Yeah it’s an easy fix... But should we really have to go through all this? Since the video helped would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it helps me reach more people. Thanks so much!
NEVER purchasing another LG product
I spent MONTHS researching how to fix my wifi connection issues. Don't know how many times I restarted the modem, router, unplugged TV, tried changing networks, turning location off, calling help centers and Googling methods. I was about to plunk down another $500-$700 to get the same type of TV. Took me 20 minutes and I'm back watching Netflix for the first time in almost a year on my TV. THANK YOU!!
It worked. Most difficult part was getting the cover off (no wonder it wasn't shown) - but fairly straightforward from there. What a relief, and HUGE thanks for this.
I needed two hands to work it off. But once it’s off it’s easy
Wi-Fi stopped working roughly 2 years after buying the tv. I tried every single setting, factory reset, etc, nothing worked. THIS worked, and only took about 15-20 minutes with simple tools. Thank you brother!
You’re welcome! The other fixes out there can be really frustrating. This is the only one that actually fixes the problem.
I had no right believing I could repair a tv, you gave me so much unearned confidence, thank you!!!
Feel free to tell everyone that you indeed fixed a tv by yourself! 😃
Yooouuuu legend, helped my friend fix his TV after months of frustration. Tried new network name, password, router, everything. This worked it wooooooorrrkkkkeeedddd DO IT and if you're nervous STILL DO IT, do it now!!!! The energy in the house is finally at peace, thank you TV Guru you've made many people happy with this video.
Aaaawwww thanks! I’m no guru… Just a guy that was frustrated and had nothing to lose. I spent days researching and problem solving. I had to try something so I just went for it. Glad it worked for you!
I have not been able to use my TV's WIFI for over a year now! Until I stumbled upon this video. Man you're Awesome!!! Thank you and God bless you!
Congrats on the fix! It’s frustrating not to be able to use the WiFi. I’m glad it worked for you. Since the video helped would you mind giving it a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. Thanks!
I didn't believe it would work. We've had our LG TV for 5-years. We started having intermittent problems 3-years ago. This year we completely lost Wi-Fi. We knew that it had to be a problem with the TV because the TV couldn't detect Wi-Fi signals from my or any of my neighbor's routers. So, I followed your advice, straightened out the Wi-Fi and Infrared receiver cables and reinforced them with electrical tape. As soon as it fired up, I checked the network status. It wasn't connected, but it did see my router and a half dozen other routers. I selected mine, signed in, and it now works like a champ.
As you mentioned, this is a manufacturing defect.
Thanks for the help. You be the man.
I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO, I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I FIXED THIS IN 5 MINUTES!!!!! LOVE YOU BUDDY
YOURE WELCOME! 😃 Would you please do me a favor and like and subscribe? Thanks!
Charles...THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I'm active duty military (Electronics Technician) w/ experience in CYBER as well! I can NOT believe the horrendous manufacturing of this one component! I thought LG was better than that! Dunno how you figured this one out, but glad you did...saved me a bunch of time, energy and money!!!
I was a desperate man with a lot of time in his hands. A little trial and error and it all made sense.
Omg my husband and I just did this to our lg I can't believe it!! IT WORKED!! Thank you so much i was about to throw this thing away lol. Only had it 3 years! 🙌🙌... thanks again! 👍👍
Congrats on fixing your tv! Would you mind please giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It will help me reach more people so I can help them too. Thanks!
Sir I can not thank you enough, I put up with the WiFi disconnecting all day every day for about 3 months, when I thought I would do a search on TH-cam and found your video. Your thorough explanation absolutely works. Again Thank You very much!
Glad I could help!
Worked for me. Thanks! This is the last LG television I buy.
Yeah they used to be such a good company. I don’t know why they are sending out TVs with issues like this. Anyway I’m glad you were able to fix it. Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. Thanks!
Agreed!! LG has fallen completely off! I lose wi-go connection on this TV everyday! I’m so over this TV!
Us too. We just bought a Samsung and love it
Me too!
Facts last LG for me
I freaking LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE you!!!! For weeks my wifi was not working, after hours of troubleshooting, buying a wifi extender, and speaking to support, only for them to tell me I had to have the module repaired by a technician, I was able to do this in MINUTES!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Everything works perfectly now.
I’m glad to hear that it worked for you. It’s absolutely frustrating when tech support is of no help. If you would like to support my channel please “like” the video and subscribe to my channel. If you would like to leave a $1 tip my Venmo is Charles-Yamabe
After months of trying EVERYTHING, I stumbled across this video, tried it and finally got it working. Thank You!
That right there is the reason I make videos like this! I’m glad to hear it worked for you. Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
Hey hru? I was seriously having issues with my wifi. Decided to get on you tube. searched and came across your channel and when I say it was a 100% FIX, MAN!!! my problems are solved, WOW!!! Thanks my brother from another mother.
Glad it worked for you! If you would like to donate $1 my Venmo is pinned in the comments.
That's amazing it actually worked, I tried all videos and none worked, 10 min in bam good to go. Good job, must use this method.
That’s awesome dude! Yeah other videos have you going through hoops for nothing. This is the actual fix and it’s pretty easy. If you wouldn’t mind could you like and subscribe? It would really help me out.
Dude !! This worked but let me tell you as simple as a few screws sound make sure u remember which ones go in their spots also the search everywhere for any screws you missed ! . My top portion was difficult to pry off. But be gentle . Thank you so much for this video I am honestly super happy right now
I cannot believe this worked. I don't understand why this would make a difference. I tried everything in settings that was suggested. I was ready to throw the tv out and my wife came across this video. I was very sceptical but did exactly what you said to do and now it loads faster than it ever did with no issues to the wifi. YOU ARE AMAZING!
Now the only problem is... It will haunt me why this worked lol.
Awesome. 10 min job and super simple. Thank you!
I have a 70 inch LG with the same symptoms. After removing the back panel, I had to removal an additional panel across the bottom covering the wireless connections. Unkinked all the wire ribbons and she connected right up to my router. Thank you for posting this.
I might have the same tv as you with the same issue of no wifi. Can I remove the addition panel across the bottom of the tv while it's standing or do I have to remove the legs and lay it down?
With the back panel off and laying facedown, I had to remove the legs to release the cover. The wire ribbon was threaded through a support on the cover. Flipping the cover over made it easier to release the ribbon from the support.
@@antoniorodon5542 did you try it?
@@CharlesYamabe not yet. It's a 70 inch tv and it's pretty heavy. I need some help to get it down and then some space to lay it down flat without damaging it. You think a pillow in each corner will do the trick to keep it from damaging when I lay it down?
Antonio, my wife helped me lift ours off its console. We set it down standing up, moved some furniture out of the way, and then laid it face down on some blankets. Most of the screws were the same size, but I kept sticky notes of which went where. Once the back cover is off, per Charles excellent instructions, the additional cover has four deeply recessed screws as well as the leg screws.
This worked! Thank you for your video! Out of the blue or wifi was "disconnected". We just followed your detailed step by step video and we are back online! Literally took 15 minutes including taking it off the wall! Thanks again!
I’m glad it worked for you and that you found the video easy to follow! Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Thanks so much. I tried everything and was about to get another TV. The fix took about 20 minutes because of the TV size (70 inch) and it was mounted to the wall. Well worth my time. It connected to wi-fi within 2 seconds. Shame on LG for not putting a recall on this issue. Thanks again!
I’m really amazed by all the people that seem to have this issue. It’s crazy that LG is sending TVs out like this. If you haven’t yet would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out. Thanks so much!
You the real MVP!!! I just fixed my lg "smart" TV with this video. Had issues off and on since I got the TV and finally it stopped completely. I did this with nothing but a basic screw driver and pocket knife and I'm by no means a mechanic and it's working like a charm now
Amazing. My wife was ready to throw this thing out the window. Worked right away after following this simple guide. Do take note of where you take screws from. Liked and subscribed!!!
Glad it worked for you! Thank you for subscribing!
Video of the year! I’ve tried everything. WiFi Router and modem, weird menu fixes and toggles, hard and soft resets, LG customer service - this video is the only solution that worked. Thank you, sir!
Yoooo! I’ve tried everything! I’ve done the unplugging of the TV for a minute. I’ve unplugged the Wi-Fi for a minute. I’ve unplugged both the TV and the Wi-Fi. I’ve reset the location and took off the automatic location and all of that, I got nothing. Well, I stumbled across this video and BAM, it worked like a charm. THANK YOU!
Lol... After I did all these I was almost putting my tv up for sale then this video 👍🏽👍🏽
It worked, I straightened the folds where the ribbon connects to the clips from the mother board to the WiFi module, and boom! It worked. You’re a genius.
Thank you! I changed my router thinking it was routers messy internet managment, but then I realized it had nothing to do with the router.... This solution worked just fine, also it was really ease to do... Now we have at home a good router and a working LG TV
That’s awesome news! I’m glad it worked for you. Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
I followed the instructions and it worked exactly as shown. What bothers me the most is that LG, the manufacturer does not mention any of this as a problem or how to fix it. I wasted lots of time, plugging, unplugging, resetting, etc. etc. chasing this problem. Thanks for posting this video.
No problem! Yeah customer support isn’t very supportive
@@CharlesYamabe He thinks LG don't know about it!? LOL. Oh wow.
I was lost the last few weeks in lockdown and no netflix! Thank you sooo much, this worked for me x
I’m glad you can now enjoy Netflix again!
Would you mind please giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It will help me reach more people so I can help them too. Thanks!
7:00 pm. I'm 61 years old, been in remodeling for over 44 of them, doing everything under the sun, and have done numerous appliance/tech repairs as well. But I have to tilt my hat to this guy putting on this video. After watching it twice, I cracked mine open, did what needed to be done, as instructed,,,, and omg, it worked! Hats off to this guy saving people all over money that otherwise would have given to some schmuck who wouldn't be as nice as this guy was to put it out there ,,, for EVERYONE to use, learn from !! Salute to you brother !!
That voice dude. You sound like you could be an avenger
Maybe I am an Avenger? 😃
I'm speechless! This makes no sense at all to me, but as a last ditch effort I gave it a try, and it worked. Our TV was acting as if it was under powered as it was constantly freezing up as if it was buffering. Sometimes it would result in the TV rebooting. We constantly saw the "wifi disconnected" followed by "wifi connected" messages, and it drove us crazy.
I took the back off and it looked exactly the same as yours. I straightened the cables to the wifi unit and the darned thing has been working flawlessly for hours. There's some serious voodoo in play here, but it worked so I'm taking it.
Thank you Charles.
No voodoo just science 😂
Genius. It was really easy to take the back off. Yes the cables were bent and pressed over on themselves. Straightened out and boom, wifi is found! Saved me hundreds of dollars in repair fees. Very grateful. Thanks.
You’re welcome!
Having tried everything else and come to my wits end with persistent wifi & Bluetooth crashes i came across this video and with nothing to lose i gave it a shot.
The relevant cables were bent and crimped but with a bit of finessing i got them into a more natural shape just like you showed.
The TV now works perfectly 🤗
Hats off to you sir, you're an absolute legend!👌
I was having the same issue with my wifi so i did everything as you explain the video and i was shocked that it actually worked!! Thank you!!!!
Awesome! I’m glad it worked for you. Please like the video and subscribe if you haven’t already.
Thanks! You saved us some time and money and we totally appreciate this!
Thank you so much for the SUPER THANKS! You’re the first person to use that button. It’s actually my first super thanks ever. I’m glad the video was able to help you fix your tv!
Thank you very much, Charles. I was a little skeptical at first but decided to try it since it worked for so many people. Great help, you stopped me from buying a new TV for now. What a great feeling it was when I finally saw the TV connected to the Wifi, you hit the nail right on the head. Very much appreciated.
You are absolutely welcome! I'm glad that I could save you some money... Especially in todays economy. =)
Just one more person here, grateful for your video! My tv was not recognizing wireless networks at all, and was even freezing up frequently on a direct Ethernet cable connection! It was so aggravating!
This fix was so quick and easy! Thank you so much!!!
You’re very welcome
100% works, so easy to do yourself. Only struggle might be taking the back panel off if you only have screws at the bottom (a different model TV). You can just run a flat screwdriver inbetween the edges and use slight force to get that back panel off. Great video 10/10 !
Yeah it totally works! Getting the back off can be a slight challenge but it’s not too bad. I’m glad you were able to fix it! Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
I salute you big time. Your video has served me. I was on the verge of returning the LG Tv to the dealer. It took me less than 10 minutes to have it fixed. You are a mensh!
Glad I could help!
I was so ready to blame somebody in my house.
who messed with my TV I said!!!
This immediately fixed my LG TV and as described the wire was crimped. Thank you sir for making this video .
It’s crazy that the wire is crimped like that. Would you mind giving the video a “like” and hit the “subscribe” button? It really helps me out! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much! It worked, and saved us buying a new tv! ☺️
That’s awesome! I’m so glad that I’ve been able to help people and save them from having to spend more money. 😃
It worked, you saved me from having to buy a new tv! Thank you so much!
You are very welcome! I’m glad it worked for you. If you wouldn’t mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribing” to my channel that would be awesome! It really helps me out. Thanks!
I used this fix on a 2018 LG, which only recently developed a problem of not maintaining a wifi connection. The model was different from the video, but the issue exactly the same - folded wires. Solved my problem. And have no wifi connection issue. Thankyou so much for posting this video!
So happy to hear that you fixed your issue!
It’s not very often I hit like on a TH-cam video but you literally just saved my TV. Much love brotha💚✊🏽
Awesome dude! I’m glad it worked for you! Would you mind hitting the “subscribe” button as well? It really helps me out and it helps my videos be seen by others. I’m just trying to reach as many people as possible and help as many as I can.
I had installed a network booster before finding this fix thinking that was the problem and was about to buy a new WiFi module. As advertised took about 20 minutes. Thank you so much for posting this!
I cant believe this actually worked. I just followed the video, took the blue tape off and played with the cable for a second. I told myself there's no way this would work as it didn't even seemed like I did anything. Put the cover back on and now the wifi works again...incredible.
It really is incredibly easy. I don’t understand why LG isn’t fixing or preventing this problem. I’m glad it worked for you. Would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please “like” the video and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and helps me reach others with the same problem. Thanks!
Same thing happened to me. all i did was straighten out the taped wire. :)
I got this TV second-hand from a thrift store. I couldn't figure out why they would have gotten rid of it until I realized that half the time it wouldn't connect to the wifi at all, and the other half it would disconnect after 10 minutes. This video saved this TV and helped land me a stellar deal!
That’s awesome! Glad to save you some money! Please like and subscribe if you haven’t already. It really helps out!
You’re an angel! I’ve tried everything and a quick 5 minutes later your solution worked like a charm!
Aw thank you! Im not sure my wife would agree that I’m an angel? 😂 I’m glad that it worked for you. Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
Just had this problem on my LG uj6300. Carefully took the back off, cable was badly twisted. Straightened it carefully and taped it down. It worked immediately after putting it together. Thanks.
It makes me happy to read all the comments about how it helped people
Outstanding👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
As an engineer, I do not understand how such a bad crimp in the cable passed QA inspection with so much room inside. The least I could have done is send out a service notice to all people who purchased an LG product with this issue.
Yeah it really doesn’t make any sense. Maybe it’s part of their planned obsolescence?
@@CharlesYamabe It is DEFINITELY planned obsolescence as LG engineers know exactly what they are doing. Shame on them.
QA people: No it doesn't pass inspection
CEO: Yes it does
Maybe jostling during shipping and installation makes the crimp worse? We had a tv that was working, but stopped shortly after installing
TL;DR - This works and it immediately fixed my wifi issue after weeks of "Wifi turned off" issue.
I don't ever commend know TH-cam videos. But after years of my TV randomly turning its wifi off and it being off for weeks now and not "resetting itself"... I came and followed this video.
Boom! It worked! Thanks!
LG stands for Long Gone! Last LG TV I'll buy!
Hahaha
You are awesome! Almost pitched a 55 inch LG tv because this issue. Came across your video and went step by step… it works now! Beers on me! Thank you!
That’s great to hear! I have a Venmo if you are serious about buying me a beer.
To my fellow skeptical people, this DOES in fact work. Thank you sir for this video.
Same I did this a few days ago worked like a charm right after
I received a second hand LG 32LJ550b (2017) and the WiFi didn't work. Wow, after following your steps, it detected a WiFi signal - works now! Thanks, Charles.
Glad it worked for you! If you would like to donate $1 my Venmo is pinned in the comments.
Just did this today and it worked perfectly. Thanks for saving me the money.
Congrats on fixing it! Since the video helped would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it helps me reach more people. Thanks so much!
I did this to my tv and it straight worked, i wonder why people dont watch these kind of videos before sending it straight to service, its super helpful dude and u dont have to spend like 40 dollars
Awesome, I’m glad I could help! Yeah, I mean why not watch a few videos and see if you can fix it yourself? Since the video helped you would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please “like” the video and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and helps me reach more people. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this - first time the wifi worked on my TV ever. When I first bought it I never tried because I didn’t need a smart TV having an Apple TV attached. The constant device disconnect messages were annoying though. Uncrimped that cable and put it back together and it works great!
It was the exact same for me. I never needed to use my WiFi in the beginning. Then when I tried it I realized I had an issue. Glad it worked for you. Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
Unbelievable! Problem just cropped up slowly after many years (poor wifi and general remote responsiveness). Fix was easy and seems to have completely restored normal expected TV operation. Hopefully it will last! Thank you Charles!!!!
YES! This worked out great. I didn’t had to mess around with the cables. Dusting off the wifi module port did it for me. Thank you so much! 👍🏻
I can't believe this actually worked!!!!!! The inside of my TV looks a little different, but sure enough, the same cord was crimped. I'm shocked this actually fixed the same error message on my TV. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
No problem I’m glad it worked for you
Thank you, this video saved me from buying a new TV. The back was more difficult to get off on my model. I had to gently break the seal on the sides by running a flat head screwdriver slowly up them. I had to use some force to open it. Once I opened it, it was exactly as this video explains. It worked for me!
Bro you the goat I was at my last nerve with this tv the WiFi kept going out I googled everything and finally found this video made it even easier my tv has a spot where the WiFi part comes off so I didn’t even have to take the hole back off my wires were all jammed up straightened em WiFi back thank god and this guy !!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful and works flawlessly!
I raised a ticket with LG customer service for this and got a call from them. However I told them that I fixed it myself ( feeling myself as a mechanic 😀)
Ha that’s amazing! Did you tell them how you fixed it?
Yeah of course! Credit goes to your video 👍
I did the same!
It worked. I had tried all the other options, nothing was fixing the problem, so i followed your advice in detail and the wifi is back on and we're making good use of the tv again. I'm so chuffed! Thank you for this brilliant video.
Thank you so much! The only real thing I could find on TH-cam.
Haha yeah a lot of people share pure crap. I’m glad that this helped you. Since the video helped would you mind giving it a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. Thanks!
Awesome video. We had our LG TV for a number of years. Then suddenly bam! No connection. The error message states turn wifi back on. I searched for a button and went through every setting I could find, and still nothing worked. I googled it and every video I came across talked about how to setup a new connection by finding your wifi. None of them were of any help, until I came across this video. Sure enough, I found a bent cable and I gently flattened it. My husband was skeptical and hovered over me as I was taking his beloved TV apart but let me continue. We got it setup and tested it to find success! Thank you so much!
Oh. My. God!!! I can’t thank you enough for making this video! I still can’t believe I just took apart and fixed my TV! At midnight no less! 😂
Hahaha that’s awesome! Congrats on fixing your tv!
For those in the Philippines, who are probably watching this video bcoz of their LG TV wifi problem:
I swear by this tutorial, it really worked! I just followed the instructions, slowly removing the tape from the wires, and straightening it out gently making sure i will not rip the connected parts.
We were really desperate with our LG TV.. it has been months, and the other techniques initially worked, until just months ago, all those tricks did not work anymore.
Thank God for this. we did not have to worry about bringing it to a repair shop, especially now with the pandemic ( too scary to go out).
Thank you so much once again!
It absolutely works! Since it helped you would you mind giving the video a “like” and hit the “subscribe” button? It really helps me out! Thanks so much!
Thank you!! This helped! I had fewer screws to unscrew, and I had to pry the back panel off with a screwdriver. But otherwise, this video told me everything I needed to know!
My problem LG was a 4 yr. old 49in model with the exact same issues. WiFi goes in and out with periodic messages to turn WiFi on. I was ready to call for service as my TV was still under warranty as it was purchased from Costco. Before doing that, I did a search to see if I could find someone with similar issues. To my delight, I found your video. My TV’s insides were somewhat different from your setup, but it seemed obvious which were the WiFi wires. The wires were crimped in two sections. I uncrimped them, reassembled the back and returned to service. WiFi has now been operating without problem ever since. Thanks for your video. It saved me a lot of time and aggravation. I HAVE BOTH LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED!
Glad it worked for you! If you would like to donate $1 my Venmo is pinned in the comments.
Thanks so much for this video!! Worked perfectly and was super easy. I tried all the other tricks from other videos and nothing worked. I was afraid to go this far until I saw your video. I figured it already doesn’t work, so what do I have to lose. Barely took 10 minutes and I was back in business! Thanks again😁
You’re welcome! I literally have that same approach when I try to fix anything. If it’s already broken what do I have to lose? Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
Wow. Thank you so much for this video. I first called LG and after a factory reset she basically told me my tv needed service or I could hardwire it with an Ethernet cord.
I followed what you said and it worked!!! I’m so grateful. I wish I could hug you!! Thanks a million.
Just watched this and did it on my LG worked perfectly thanks again!
Sweet! I'm glad that the video worked for you. Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
It worked I had the same problem when I opened the back cover of the TV I fixed the bent wire and the connection network lists appeared where as before there was no wifi network connection list.
Thanks man... I can finally watch Star Wars Acolyte and other movies without any problems.
I face the same wifi connection problem with my LG tv and I so worried about that and then watching your video I fixed it same as you did and it works , thanks for that you saved my pocket,
appricated thanks
I’m glad I could help and save you some money! Would you mind giving the video a “like” and subscribe to my channel? It really helps me out! Thanks!

Works! I followed these directions, but in addition to, i removed the internet card (with vinyl gloves on to avoid any skin oil getting on the card), and sprayed it off with a can of compressed air.
How is it that folded ribbon wires can prevent something from working? I never would of thought it
Glad it worked for you. Will you please like and subscribe? Thanks!
I had the same issue. I was going to by a new WIFI module. I even had it in the cart and went to checkout. When I saw how much they wanted for shipping, I decided to look for another option when I saw this video. I can't believe it, but it actually worked. Thank you for posting.
You’re welcome
Sounds like sabotage to me.
I needed this.

After eight years and a lot of stalling by LG Netherlands I decided to follow your instructions. My 49UH850V has the WiFi component in a different position. Straightened out the cable et voila: WiFi is working. Thanks a bunch!
this definitely work for me, I tried everything. THANKS‼️
😃 No problem! Since the video helped would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It helps me reach more people. The more people I reach the more I can help. Thanks so much!
You are AMAZING!! All other “fixes” just talk about unplugging and restarting everything. None of that works. People…..BE BRAVE AND DO THIS CAUSE THIS REALLY WORKS!

I owe you a drink! This worked! Thank you!!!
I’ll make you a deal... If you give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel then we can call it even. 😃
Charles Yamabe done 🤙🏻
Crazy! Have an LG49UJ6300 TV that is about 2 yrs old and we had it hooked up to a cable service and so never needed to use the WiFi capabilities. Switching to TH-cam TV and now getting the wireless WiFi message about "No Internet.. blah, blah, blah" and no networks listing. So off to Dr. Google. Tried the other video suggestions - turn off/on Router, turn off/on TV, Reset TV to factory defaults. None of those worked. Then saw this video. Decide it was worth a try. Opened the back of the TV and saw the twisted cables. Straightened them out and then gave it a try before putting the panel back on. It was magic!! Our networks were discovered and listed immediately!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! This works everyone :-)
Im so glad it worked for you. In this day and age I feel like we all need WiFi. Especially those of who decided to ditch cable. Since the video helped would you mind doing me a favor? Would you please give the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it allows me to reach/help more people. Thanks so much!
Never buying another LG product. What a fuckin joke.
I can't thank you enough for this video!!! I've been dealing with this issue for the past two years. Even had the wi-fi module replaced for free with LG warranty. Still after 6 months it stopped working again with the "WiFi is off" error! After that LG would not pay to fix it again. I resorted to getting a Roku stick - which worked well (though I was very annoyed that I needed to use it for streaming) for a long time. Then it happened again - boom I couldn't even get the TV to work via the Roku stick. And oddly enough, sometimes the LG wi-fi would work sporadically. This was an EASY fix just as you showed. LG should have fixed this long ago for all of us like you said. I was seriously thinking about getting rid of this TV and heading to Costco to get a new one. You saved me a lot of $$$ - THANK YOU!!!
You’re very welcome. I’m glad I was able to help save your tv!
Fr Thanks 🙏🏼 quick fix no lie
Glad it worked! Would you mind throwing me a “like” and subscribe? It really helps me out.
OMG!!! IT WORKED! 4 yr old LG wife just quit. We tried all the other stuff. I was so scared to ttry this. But it freaking worked. It took longer to get the t v on and off the wall and remove the wall mount brackets from the back of the TV than it did to do the repair. You are a ROCK STAR! saved me from dropping 800 on a new one.
Thank you so much! I’d buy you a 🍺 if I could. This worked & it is the only fix that will work. However, you will need a spudger or gentle pry tool across the top to get the back off on newer TVs. The screws really have to go back in the slots they came from or else the backplate won’t seal well. You will spend less time in the case uncrimping wires than taking the backplate off and on.
I’m glad I was able to help you out! Instead of a beer would you mind giving the video a “like” and “subscribe” to my channel? It really helps me out and it helps me reach more people. Thanks so much!
