    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

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!!

    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!

      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.

    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 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!
