LG TV How to fix WiFi is turned off

In this video I show how to solve problem with LG TV wifi.
Many times the LG TV will show an error that says "Wifi is turned off. Turn it on to see the list of available networks that you can connect to and additional related menu items.
But there is no button to turn it on its actually manufacturing defect so let’s see how to fix it. Only screwdriver and cleaning alcohol required to fix this.

*2024 and solution still works!* I tried everything else on KZbin including resetting the location and tweaking other settings on my LG TV and nothing worked. I followed the instructions in this video and had the TV connected to WiFi in 20 minutes. Thanks Russian guy!

[@Abonanno24601]

Wow. Me too. I tried the different region trick (which worked for about a day) but went back out. Tried factory reset on Friday but nothing. My wife and I just did exactly what this video told us to do and within 20 minutes, it worked. By golly, it worked.

[@DiscyBoyo3000]

Ima try this today !!! Otherwise I'll keep using my Google chromecast

[@lloydglazer2231]

Amazing, thank you so much! The wife and I had the same problem for over 3 months. So we called for a technician to see if they could fix this at a cost of $125.00 for him to show up. My wife is better at searching for help online than me. She found your video and shared with me. Two days later we pulled the TV off the wall, followed your steps and put it back together with high hopes. Wouldn’t you know it………IT WORKED!!! We are so happy we saved from calling a technician or worse, buying another TV. Bless you for posting this! York, Pennsylvania USA

[@inf-ZERO]

Hello i have same issue, is ur tv still working fine?

[@terryo580]

If you lose Wi-Fi on your LG TV, this is the best video I found on KZbin to fix the problem. Cleaning the connector on the Wi-Fi circuit board on the TV will fix the problem. Thank you for the great video Mr. Stukov! You are the best!

[@marqualofton2397]

This is the only video that has helped me with this YEARS long wifi issue I’ve had with my LG TV. It has always jumped off the wifi several times a week and I’d have to manually reconnect again each time. Just recently, it hasn’t been recognizing any wifi at all. It would say that the wifi is off, not give me the option to turn it on & I’ve never experienced that. I tried all the resetting and unplugging of my router and tv but nothing worked until I finally found this video and the correct screwdriver. So proud that I was able to do this all on my own. Thank you so much!

[@Darkray201]

Bro I stumbled upon this video as I was already struggling some time to fix: WiFi seems to be on, same as Bluetooth - however no devices could be found and no connection established. After a factory reset I knew it had to be something with the hardware or the wifi module. I do not even have your lg tv model and it does even differ a lot. However my wifi module was also at the bottom and a combo module with: wifi, bluetooth, infrared sensor (also for the lg magic infrared remote control which did not work correctly previously as well). I did not even have rubbing alcohol but just used a toothbrush and cleaned it gently. And it indeed instantly worked. Your video was the only thing that resulted in a brandnew tv feeling without needing to buy a new replacement wifi combo module. Thanks a lot buddy!

[@mikevarleta5948]

Thank you. You just saved me $800+ going to BB to get a new TV today. I searched the internet high and low, came across a lot of different videos but opted to try this one and to my total shock, it works!!! Boo-yeah. Thank you brother.

[@MrStukov]

Have a good weekend bro 🤟

[@thaik8538]

3-4 years of heartache and headache finally saved by this glorious man save me money on a new tv

[@hidekiseto6022]

After searching the web for hours, trying everything and about to give up. I found your video and followed your instructions. It worked! Thank you so much!!

[@MrStukov]

Glad I could help

[@train9011]

I literally thought I was going to mess up my husband's TV but this totally worked!!! I've been wanting to move this tv across the room but always had to have it hardwired but with this hack, I can now use the WiFi!!! I appreciate your help!!

[@blakecottrell6111]

Thank you for making this video I have been fighting with the wifi for over a year ! Works great now

[@hyrulianking]

Right!!!

[@Swede2of3]

My LG was slightly different. I had to remove a bottom plate over the speakers. But all the electronics were all the same. The WIFI module was exactly the same. Cleaned the dust out, and presto! It works perfectly. Thank you, sir!

[@DomB-jx4yx]

You are a genius. I tried everything even calling LG and they wanted to send a technician. I even tried changing the country, resetting the router. This worked right away! Thank you!!

[@andwea]

My TV’s WiFi hadn’t been working for a year now. I tried all the usual tips from other videos. I remember seeing this video last year and thought this could be /the/ solution. I didn’t do it right away bc my TV is mounted & the thought of tearing it apart by myself was such a hassle. Fast forward to today (Mar 2024), my dad & I brought the TV down and opened it. I don’t even have the same LG model as the video, but I identified the same WiFi module. We cleaned it even if it wasn’t dusty. My dad doubted that that was the problem bc it didn’t even look dirty or anything, but when we turned it on… IT ‼️ ACTUALLY ‼️ WORKED‼️ So happy! Thank you so much!

[@TheJobin88]

Just did this last night and it worked! So well done, thank you!

[@bluesraincancun9217]

Bro, I followed your instructions and now the TV works as it did before. This wifi problem was driving me insane. Lol Thanks. This is a helpful tutorial. Keep making vids.

[@MrStukov]

No problem 👍

[@kstorrer]

Thank you so much for making this video! I had tried numerous other fixes for this problem and nothing worked. I had pretty much given up until I found your video. It was surprisingly quite easy to do and now I can watch TV! Thanks again 😀

[@user-jy3xk4qk1j]

This is my first ever comment on KZbin which I have to made for people who should trust this guy he ain’t lie at all everything he said was perfectly true I just fixed my LG Tv WiFi problem by his help so thankful for this video made by him.

[@adelalisalem]

I did it today the way you did it in your video….. and guess what !!!!! It woooooorks 🎉😂❤ yopeeeeeeeee 💪👌👏👏👏big hug from Egypt 🇪🇬 thank you 🙏

[@willgomaa4017]

Like most of the other commenters, I came here after other “solutions” didn’t work. But this really did! Much appreciated!!

[@xxbigbangxx1]

Mr. Stukov, I wanted to take my time to say thank you. Thank you very very much!! My tv wi-fi wasn't working and couldn't fix it in anyway. Tried all the "software solutions" I could but they didn't work and realised the problem had something to do with the wifi module inside. I never opened a tv in my life and was about to give up, already thinking about buying a new (it's not exactly new ahah). Then I stumbled upon your site and this video. You made it look so easy that I wanted to give it a shot. I tried, opened it, cleaner the wifi module and it worked! I'm so happy and it's all thanks to you. Thank you very very much!

[@minute6716]

Thank you so much for the video! You just saved me from losing money purchasing a new TV! Yesterday I tried using all kind of software setting methods and it didn’t work! Today I tried yours and my TV is finally back! Thank you so much again. You saved me 🙏

[@dechelebyrd9233]

Thank you for making this video. I was able to fix my problem and clean up YEARS of cord collection behind my tv stand! You are appreciated!

[@melcag1609]

Typical LG with their issues. Can't even make tv's with proper working wifi.. No wonder they couldnt sell their phones.

[@CuzzenBrillo]

Thank you so much for this video! The constant disconnecting from the wifi has been an ongoing struggle. Trying everything I can before eventually thinking about buying a new tv I come across this video and now it’s fixed! Proper legend 👊

[@joeblowjo]

Still all good?

[@jammyjam770]

Thank you for posting . I watched several but they didn't go beyond what LG told me to do to reset the TV. Loved the relaxing music and the little boy who helped. I thought if he can do it , so can I. It worked! ..After having no TV for 3 days. So easy. LG was going to send a repair guy, so glad I did this instead. Thanks again.😊

[@MrStukov]

No problem!

[@syckodaklown]

Thank you so much for this. I never would have thought and you saved me over 500 dollars. Been running no issues for almost an hour. Crossing my fingers that it's all good now.

[@joeblowjo]

Still all good?

[@kaitlynpenn8909]

IT WORKED FOR US!!!! My husband was convinced there was no corrosion on the ribbon inside - but after cleaning it - BAM! Problem solved! Thank you thank you!!

[@A-dot-L-dot]

Thank you so much!!! This worked!!!!!! I have a 75" LG TV and there were just a couple of extra screws at the bottom base of the TV once you remove the back panel. I had to remove the stand (legs if it applies) and there was a black plastic covering which covers one of the crimped connectors. This is what you need to remove. The other connector, the WFII connector, was located a little higher up on the TV... not much higher....middle right. I cut the blue tape, straightened the crimped wires, used electrical tape to tape it down and it looks like it worked. Remember, there were two areas you will need to straighten out for this type of TV: The base part, which needs to be removed, and the WFII connector. Again, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

[@CharlieLm7]

We have an LG from 2019, it wasn’t dirty inside or anything and this actually fixed it! Very happy, it’s an easy fix for anyone if you’re careful

[@MoonWho78]

If wifi module wasn’t dirty then what was the problem?

[@TheNagualWilliam]

Bro, just put the TV back together after following your video and so far so good...... TV looks as good as new.....many thanks!!

[@Chrisbvarnes]

Cleaning the wifi connectors did it, you saved me a trip to the store and a couple of hundred dollars. Thank you sir!

[@Abonanno24601]

My wife and I just did this after 2 days with no connection and by golly, IT WORKED!! THANK YOU!

[@jchau9898]

Worked for me. Wasted a lot of time troubleshooting before I stumbled onto your video. Thanks a lot.

[@MrStukov]

Glad it helped

[@SpanishGold123]

This worked for me too! 🤯. I’ve gone with out the internet connecting consistently for half a year. Thank you for this idea. 🎉

[@viiieeett]

Thank the freaking heavens!!!!! We tried every other solution out there including the annoying long-time-wasting ones. Nothing worked. Except for this one! It took us probably an hour to do because we have a different model where the entire panel was clip locked into place.... but after that gruelling effort THE WIFI SWITCHES ON AND AND ACTUALLY CONNECTS! Hurray. Back to consuming entertainment we go 😆

[@MrStukov]

Welcome! Glad that it works for you.

[@punkythelibra1594]

THIS REALLY WORKED! Thank you! I did everything! Reset the TV, keep it off for 60 seconds, messed with the location settings! This is the ONLY THING THAT WORKED! THANK YOU!

[@J_Skills]

Tried the location reset and never worked for me. But this video and this solution worked! Thanks boss!

[@thepmaexperience]

I know I’m pretty much repeating what others have said but after relocating house and living in Thailand where some things are hard to get sorted, the WiFi wasn’t working and I tried ur info with kitchen towel, alcohol and compressed air and it worked like a charm! With streaming back in my life it simplifies things… Thank you sooooo much and have a fantastic Xmas!!😊

[@magdagalzote4722]

I am so happy I found your post I have experienced the same problem with my LG tv and followed your instructions and now WiFI is back. Thanks a lot.

[@EnderBoy9217]

Thank you so much! Spraying compressed air worked on my my 55UK6090PUA. Notice that even though it didn’t look dirty, (no dust came out) this still fixed the problem

[@kieranocallaghan6559]

I did the same compressed air and worked the first time. Thanks.

[@Pejjabers204]

I tried all the software fixes and I got nothing. Took it apart, unplugged and cleaned. Instantly started to work. Thanks!

[@ezr4914]

Thank you forever! I just used this method today when I got home and it worked great! You save me some cash this weekend. Have a great weekend yourself.

[@MrStukov]

Great to hear!

[@ziggystardust1866]

Thank you very much. I was having problems for a long time, Bluetooth connected and disconnected and the same with wifi. It took around 20 minutes and the TV works like new. Thanks a lot man.

[@MrStukov]

Great to hear!

[@Oneofmany1s]

Thanks for this great videos Was without tv for 3 days ! Saved me a lots of trouble

[@raistlin_allen]

This saved my life! My tv kept having this issue and it got to where even the ethernet cable kept malfunctioning and disconnected. Opening it up was definitely the hardest part- I got a little LCD damage towards the top of my screen, which was more my bad for forgetting one of the screws for a second, but once I went through all the steps and replaced the back, suddenly the tv is picking up on wifi options again! Thank you!! Was about to go buy a new tv tbh

[@ttracy7814]

It actually worked! I researched this on the in internet and reddit for about a month and tried every solution except this one. It really wasn't bad at all. I was a little bit worried about breaking the small wifi circuit board, but it came loose fairly easily. I was worried I was going to have to buy a new tv, but this solution worked. Thanks a bunch!

[@MrStukov]

Glad that it helps you!

[@wilddannyify]

OMG IT WORKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN! IVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE MY TVS FEATURES FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP ON IT 😭😊

[@Not_me_man]

Awesome guide, just did it and it worked like a charm. Just disconnected it blew into it and reassembled it. Awesome!!!

[@SavingIndigo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU SAVED MY LIFE! I appreciate you more than you know. Your solution is the only one that work^_^ I was scared to open the TV because I have no knowledge, but followed step by step and after a year of no TV for my mom, we finally fixed it! :)🥰

[@joeblowjo]

Still all good?

[@bh.outside]

Thank you so much. We had tried a bunch of different settings “hacks” that did nothing. This solved the problem in 15 mins.

[@jclavarreda83]

Thanks for the video! Fixed my LG that hadnt seen wifi internet connection in about a year!

[@MrMrsMontgomery]

Thank you sir for taking the time to make a video to show how easy it is to locate the wifi card and clean/reseat the ribbon cable. I opened my 7000 series LG on the kitchen table just like you. I didn’t use any cleaner, but I did use a brush. It may have only needed to be reseated. Oddly enough, the wifi adapter is used for the RF magic remote. The cursor is working again. My tv was hardwired, but the wifi card was making the Ethernet connection disconnect and reconnect. My tv would then power cycle to try to fix the issue. Thank you so much for your time and willingness to share the fix.

[@MrStukov]

Glad that it helped you!

[@mistereearly1141]

Same problem! I didn’t even utilize WiFi but whatever dust or loose connection in the WiFi module clearly impacted by hard wired Ethernet connection. Destroyed my Xbox stats damn it!!

[@mknmike]

My connection was different, but cleaning it with a toothpick dipped in alcohol worked. Thank you!

[@TamaraYoung-hq3cs]

Thank you! I was on the verge of purchasing another TV. I have a different model, so it took a few minutes to identify my wifi module. Just finished connecting 15 min ago, and couldn't be happier!

[@user-iq9uu9mh7k]

Don't pay attention to my bot looking user name..... I have reset my tv a few dozen times, changed location back and forth about a hundred times. Today i took the back off and did this. Its working as of now. We have 6 grandkids usually the most at one time visiting is 3. Joseph is happy to have his shows back in the main room.😊

[@user-iq9uu9mh7k]

2 months...... still working not one single issue since the fix.😊😊

[@DarrylMarketteMusic]

Oh my God, I can’t wait to try this fix over the weekend…. I bet this will work because this is the only video I’ve ever seen with this for a solution. Thank you in advance.

[@CedM-16]

Hey I have to thank you this really worked! I almost gave up and trashed my LG TV but you saved it. Thanks God Bless.

Thank you! We tried this and it worked! We almost put the TV in the trash 😅.

[@absolutepower7968]

It really worked, although my connectors were slightly smaller, my green circuit board wouldn't release and I didn't know where to apply the lens wipe. I used a small brush from my clippers to clean the plug and port with alcohol and it works perfectly. Thanks Mr. Stukov!

You are a LEGEND! My Wi-Fi was getting worse til nothing at all. After watching this I had the confidence to give it a go. And now so far so good. Connected again! I am really not impressed with LG build quality, especially for a 2k tv.

[@peperruti]

It worked for me! I was so desperate and annoyed of this constant problem, which persisted with no end 😢. Thank you very much bro, your video is simple and straight forward. Thanks a million 🔝💯.

Glad it helped

[@user-gv8zt7sb5j]

Worked immediately after months of it not working and trying every other button on the tv. Thank you!

[@katshiesumbana5133]

After months of trying different suggestions avoiding opening the TV, I finally decided to "Nike" (Just do it).😂😂😂 Afterall, the TV is out of warranty. It worked and I am so excited.... Thank you so much for the solution. To think that LG service Centre technician had quoted a call out fee excluding cost of whatever parts they would have had to replace for a known manufacturing defect. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@misana1]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I could not figure out why my 4 year old LGTV was telling me that wifi was turned off. However, there was no option to turn it on. Resetting the TV to initial settings took me back to the first time set up however it was unable to find any networks. I knew the issue was with the TVs WiFi.

[@MrStukov]

Glad I could help

[@stangsalie09]

This scared the crap out of me and I was positive the TV would just not work anymore when I put it back together. But I powered through and it freakin worked! I was about to just buy a firestick and say the hell with it. Thanks!

❤❤Thank you so much, sometime last year my tv started doing thing and no one could help me but nothing is wrong with the tv. So I kinda gave up. I even bought a Wi-Fi extender. We moved and it never reconnected again, so I did what you said in video and it FINALLY WORKED!! Genius 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@kenteo67able]

I've tried as advice, and it resolved the Wifi issues. Thanks!

[@williamblue602]

Thank you. I opened the case before to straighten the wires, which worked for a time. Now I could not get the WiFi back and LG wanted to send out a tech, at my expense. I was a bit nervous about pulling the chip out and the connector from the chip, but it was easy and now works fine.

It Works, thank You! You saved many TVs from being thrown away😊🎉

I was quite surprised that such a simple solution would work! My 2018 works like a new one now. Thanks for saving me the cost of buying a new TV! The chip was located under a cover at the bottom of the TV but was readily identifiable as the RF Module.

Glad it helped!

[@MrStukov]

How long it lasts for the first time?

[@beezo.]

Thank you very much. I spent hours going through the manual trying all the troubleshooting with no results. It also helped that we have the same TV you used in your video. The video was very user friendly, I truly appreciate it.

[@TerribleTakedown]

Holy Flip! After about 2 years of not able to get it working, it finally got my TV’s Wi-Fi to work with your solution! The models a bit different from mine in terms of screws, but the same method still applies. Only downfall is that I accidentally broke the clip off the power connector (that holds it in place) and I hope it doesn’t disconnect because of this! Is this something to worry about, and can it be fixed with electrical tape? Thanks for the video!

[@taiachea3097]

Everyone in the comments is making me so hopeful! Will be trying this this weekend and seeing how it goes thank you

[@robschlicker9078]

This worked! Didn’t have alcohol wipes but simply cleaned the WiFi connector with a small paintbrush.
