Its an old LG, but given the recent light on the lengths they’ll go to spy on us, I figured this guy was better off without any ability to even connect wirelessly. Don’t know if the Ethernet still works but I plan on keeping my TVs as dumb as possible, HDMI only.
If you’re wondering how to open lg TVs you just have to remove all the screws then start pulling open at the bottom and open the clips going up. With the TV face down on a soft surface just keep pulling on the back case from the bottom, it’ll take some effort to pop open. The top edge folds open more like a hidge than clips.
I did the same thing and made a post about it with pictures. https://piefed.social/post/2362076
I looked up pictures of wifi modules for my model beforehand and found a few replacement parts. So i had a general idea what to look for. Theres also a chance somebody opened the exact same tv modell and documented it on youtube.
And yeah its a simple internal flatwire connector. If you ever want bt or wifi again you only need to reseat the cable again. Cant speak for every TV ofcourse.
