I have 55UB850V-ZD with latest software version 05.05.90
The problem I have is Wi-Fi connection no longer finds networks but ethernet works okay
I notice when I completely unplug the Wi-Fi card, TV does not throw any errors.
Also at some point my magic remote control stopped working too which I know works off the same Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card but one button does work which is ON/OFF – I suspect this button works on the IR and once TV boots up the other buttons on the control use Bluetooth.
I want to keep the TV for some time, so any help would be appreciated.

- Wi-Fi connection menu in settings no longer finds my home SSID or even open network hotspot that I would create on my phone next to TV, its constantly searching for networks
- I tried manually configuring network, but up on entering all details this takes me back to the Wi-Fi connection menu and continues to perform searching…
- I tried WPS, this takes me back to the Wi-Fi connection menu and continues to perform searching…
- I checked about the TV menu and I see MAC address against ethernet card but I see 0 against Wi-Fi card
- I tried factory reset
- I tried to remove TV back cover and installed new identical model Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card LGSBW41 and made re-connections on the wiring harness between main board and the card
- I also tried to re-download latest software version 05.05.90 on to the USB as per LG instructions to see if I can re-flash the software but 2 USB sticks and trying all different ports it does not detect it as software update USB – I wonder if its because the TV is already on same software version
