I was very close to trying my own "throw a shoe at the screen" fix. Found you on KZbin and your "change location" fix worked. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[@donjohnson6246]

I had to do the location change 8 or 9 times. Then cut the power for 45 minutes. Turned the t.v. back on and still didn't have Wi-Fi. But the next day when I turned the t.v. on the Wi-Fi was back on the t.v.! LG will drive you crazy!! Thank you for your help.

[@tracyklosterman7427]

Somehow these steps actually worked! I won't say it wasn't frustrating to keep fiddling...moving it....waiting...turning it on and then have it start on wifi but go out again...but the step that somehow worked and I have no idea why really was when we took off the back of the TV. We unplugged the wifi , the ribbons were bent so I straightened them out a little, and then blew a few breaths on the parts in case there was dust. When I plugged it back in - it asked if I wanted to update the software and I said yes and this time it actually completed it. I moved it back to it's original place in the basement and it is all updated and working fine now. We were going to go buy a new one and this guy saved the environment and us some $. Thank you so much for the best video!!

[@KultuFact]

Lg Tv are trash. The locations change worked for me thank you. We should collectively file a clash action lawsuit against this evil company because their smart tv is too buggy and they are not making any effort to fix this

[@vikkicarr3255]

I’ll never purchase another one!

[@packzilla]

lmao i just commented this and thought the exact same. never encountered such difficult tvs.

[@daftpunkback2thefunk]

Location change worked for me. Would have never guessed this myself, Thank you.

[@Dallasdinero]

What location did u send it to?

[@SpaceDust_97]

You totally saved me wasting any more time on this dumb LG bug on my TV. Thanks! My locked out wifi option was able to be fixed by the first suggested fix of changing the automatic location temporarily to Canada and then manually to US. Thanks again!

[@mikebate8647]

Just changed providers and weirdly it initially worked with no problem, came down this morning and I had the issue you described. The location change worked perfectly. Many thanks. 👍

[@kaisersdad]

Thanks so much for doing this video. Just done step 4 which was the problem. TV works like a new one now.

[@lizalexander1164]

Goodness gracious. I have an LG from around 2017/2018. Nothing worked except taking the back cover off of the TV - Everything looked completely fine, except some dust I blew out. Nothing wrong with the wifi board, but I took it out and put it back in. Took forever to get the tv backing back on. But somehow that worked!

[@debramiller7561]

Thank you!! Tried everything to no avail, but waiting 30 minutes after unplugging along with the location change seems to have worked!

[@AmandaUGC-r7t]

Holy smokes! The first one worked for me - changed location, then changed it back. Boom, back in business! Thanks 🙂

[@B_Axt_Divine]

I changed the Location & it worked for me. WI-FI popped right back up and I could connect to my WI-FI network. Thank you very much! 🤙🏼

[@shyamalkakadiya]

Location change worked for me. Thank you so much 👍. Keep up the good work.

[@slimshorty615]

I’ve got two lg TVs and the wifi doesn’t work on either of them. I’m gonna try all of these and see if I can get either of them to work! Thanks for the easy to follow instructions!

[@slimshorty615]

Unfortunately none of tips and tricks worked for either of my LG tv’s. I guess LG sucks when it comes to wifi!

[@npswimmer2012]

Thank you! Location change worked for me

[@poeticprints]

If there's anyone in December 2024 having the same issue try to reconnect and connect the wifi module under the back cover ❤ thank you for video and comments

[@TheTomconroy]

Yeah right now

[@cocom2964]

Thank you for this. I spent an hour with my isp, router etc and this worked!

[@iankelleher5072]

Thank you for a comprehensive and clear checklist

[@hervealaurent]

Thanks a lot!! I was almost gonna give up, but i finally checked the wifi module by opening the TV and it was loose...no idea how. i reconnected it and now everything ia back to normal :)

[@chainmode]

Thanks, this worked exactly as described within the first 2 minutes of your how-to on my ~1.5 year old LG

[@halimeahtambanilo]

Thank you for the easy instructions! Location change worked for me

[@pur3_x256]

I tried everything but unplugging the connector to the WiFi module and putting it back is what fixed it thanks!

[@l.r.4615]

The wifi stopped working some months ago, but I didn't care because I was using chromecast, but now the hdmi stopped working too... I'm never going to buy anything from lg again, my samsung tv is older and still working... Unfortunately none of these tips worked, this tv is just garbage now.

[@brittanywetzel9011]

You’re the best! This worked immediately for me! 🎉🎉🎉

[@makedsang]

Anyone having this problem today (in the last hour) specificially?

[@MrLeviaFUN]

Yes!!! Starting 24 hours ago. Did you find a solution?

[@KhirstinSiguancia]

same here

[@jennaneely8719]

Yes

[@jonathanowensSC]

Just now

[@makedsang]

@@MrLeviaFUN none of the recommended fixes worked. Tried resetting, changing locations, etc. We ended up buying a fire stick instead.

[@diamondcoleman4800]

Changing locations worked for me. Thank you so much!

[@JohnLinn-i9p]

Only #4 worked for me. I have the SK8000PUA 55”. I took the back panel off unplugged the ribbon cable at the bottom blew it out. Then I cut the blue tape holding the ribbon cables together and took the tape off separating them. I took a can of air and blew off all the circuit boards. Put the panel back on and hooked everything back up and IT WORKED! The tv and remote work better thank ever. This is the only one that worked for me. 7/4/24

[@tanyahmiranda1576]

Thank you so much the location change worked for me. It didn't work immediately and i was ready to do the soft reset when suddenly boom. My only worry is that is this not going to be a recurring problem and if so, what if the easy fixes don't work next time

[@WillyB7]

Nothing worked up there. Final I found a comment and took off back panel with only few screws, clean up the Wi-Fi part and BOOM, it worked! 6.21.2024

[@jesurenomillar6858]

Nice

[@TheNagualWilliam]

I did the same and have a perfectly functioning TV

[@galventure]

How to clean wifi part? 😢

[@TheNagualWilliam]

@@WillyB7 same here .....like magic.....I just blew into the WiFi connector

[@joseant1922]

We had this issue after TV reset. Changing location worked for us. Now we need to figure out how to solve a bug with HDR turning on and off in our fire TV, which was reason for that reset. Your guidance has been a big help! Thanks a lot

[@zohabub]

soft reset tv worked for me!! thank you so much.

The soft reset already helped me, thank you!

Location change worked, thank you so much!!

[@mohammedashraf7698]

Hey there. Just wanted to thank you for this video. In my case I need to disassemble the back cover and check the connection cable between wifi module and main board. Stupid mistake from lg to be honest

[@rjdj-zp8qs]

Thanks man , location change worked for me too, finally after 4 days no freaking tv

[@gentechurch1587]

Thank you for your video resetting the tv worked for us.

[@samarthnarayancanada3907]

Thanks man, the very first solution (Location) worked for me 😊

[@AE-yi1uw]

Thank you so much! I started having this problem yesterday and couldn't get the tv to stay connected to the Wi-Fi. Your solution worked! I thought my tv was at the end of it's life.

Thank you. I haven’t used my OLed BX 65 for two weeks and it just lost its WiFi connection… Restarted several times but the switch of WiFi couldn’t be turned on. Changing the location instantly solved the problem… Weird thing, but I still love the image quality

[@leehallett5678]

You absolute legend! I’ve had an annoying wifi issue for ages and was ready to throw my TV out the window Location change fixed everything ⭐️

[@mikehollis5863]

I tried all the easy fixes in a number of videos and nothing worked. So I tried what I call the ultimate reset. My fios settop box, my audio amplifier, and my LG UK6500AUA tv are all connected to a power strip. Before going to bed, I flipped the power strip switch to off, making the whole setup a brick. In the morning I flipped the switch to on and gave the components a few minutes to power back up and that fixed the problem. My guess that it works because the tv never really goes completely off power in the standby mode.

[@rastaluxsy]

I am having this problem for a few days now, have tried all these remedy, nothing has worked

Same and it’s very frustrating. My tv doesn’t even have a power button on the side of the tv

I had an extended warranty and this happened about 2 months before the extended warranty was set to expire. They fixed it. Well 2 years later the issue is back again. Only way I could keep connection was to actually hook a cat5 cable from the modem to the tv. Speed also increased too compared to the wifi connection.

[@piggyhyperion428]

Noting worked 😢😢😢

[@juanieboy]

Literally having the same issue rn 😭

[@francinejackson5148]

If you have a firestick that you no longer use. Use that and the wifi will connect to the firestick. That's what I did. No more connection problems. I tried all the tricks and none worked for me either. I wasn't willing g to take the back off of the TV a nd check the modular

[@aniemmanuel669]

LG tv is just headache to me

[@winnietan6267]

Location change worked!! Tysm!!

[@gainonten4031]

Mine got fixed by changing the location to manual then selecting another country, then manually selecting US. As soon as I changed it, all the updates started working. I also set a manual IP address to mitigate resolution delays. I figured the problem might be a comm resolution between the tv and the new isp router.

[@rugervaughn8493]

I have tried one two and three multiple times buy never tried number four and that's probably the problem

Could it be the WiFi module still if it’s connecting and dropping? I am on the soft reset step. I have used the tv in HDMI mode w/o internet for years but now I’m gonna have to use WiFi. What junk lol…

Tried #1 and 2,5 also. Yet still not working. 😢 I also tried entering our wifi SSID and password many times. Still, it says wifi is not connected.

[@BakiSmaki27]

Tried everything except opening the back and it didn't work. I have a gut feeling opening the back would work but I don't wanna bother 😂. Also a workaround for this is to use a firestick and run all your wifi stuff through there. I don't mind it cuz I actually like the firestick interface more and I don't watch a lot of live TV. 👍🏽

[@MrYounghandsum]

Ok so I have done everything you said except taking the back of the tv off nothing worked… but I did fix the issues I been dealing with this problem for months so what I plug the tv out hold the power bottom for 15 seconds then I lightly smack the back of the tv where the WiFi module about 4 times i plugged it back in then everything went back to normal just like that lol

[@nk_niels]

i had this problem for some time but then it suddenly came back and now its gone back what should i do

first option is worked for me!

Just get a fire stick, onn or Apple TV to plug 🔌 in the HDMI IN YOUR BE GOOD

[@wanneeyo5253]

thank you so much.

[@nay6727]

I try that way. Didn't work so took it apart didn't disconnect anything inside. Just loose WiFi wire a little bit, too have some breathing room. Wiggle it turn on TV then Boom connected.

[@joewigginsfortynine]

I solved the problem by using a firewire. The LG Wi Fi is really bad so just use a 3rd party such as firewire or some other external connection. The firewire solved my problem

[@rylannnn.]

my state isn’t on here so what do i do

[@michaeltalley76]

It would be really swell if someone could manufacture a quality flat screen that relied on separate tuner/mainboard so that a fucking software glitch wouldn't result in a bricked unit that's completely worthless and destined for the landfill before you can pay it off.

[@michaeltalley76]

I bought four (4) LG TVs over the course of two and a half years. #1 tuner failure. Still good for gaming. #2 Wi-Fi failed. That's why I'm here. #3 LED issue Blue color shift. It's going to the curb. #4 Bought for GF LED issue Blue color shift AND Wi-Fi fail. Conclusion: LG makes fine TVs but has no Quality Control. Given the rate at which flat screens are going to the dump it's extremely irresponsible to buy these shitty TVs that last two years.
