Because of recent news i trust my LG CX Oled even less. It wasnt connected to the internet for years. But that might havent been enough. Also it always annoyed me that i couldnt disable bluetooth via the TV OS at all and it always screamed into the void.

So i followed this 3 minute video guide how to open up the backpanel which should work for most generations of the LG C-Series:

The daughter board with all the wireless stuff should be in the right corner. Just unscrew that one screw which holds it at place.

Carefully(or not) flip the daughter board over. Open the black tab and pull the cable out. Aside from the cable just put everything back together.

The magic mouse function of the remote wont work anymore. Otherwise its working fine via IR. You will maybe break a plastic tab of the backpanel.

Dont touch the PSU at all, it could kill you in the worst case even if disconnected.

Wifi and bluetooth obviosly wont work anymore. But that was the whole point and took maybe 15 minutes.

There is also a way to root your TV with certain firmware versions and install an homebrew app to disable bluetooth. But i dont even trust LG enough that a software toggle really disables wifi… In my case the only exploit which still works requires a LG developer account and then i would need to connect the TV to the internet and… Yeah, nope.

If you wanted to resell your TV in full “working” condition it would just take 15 minutes again to reseat the cable.

Now i’m going to read up if ethernet over HDMI could be another potential issue. Edit: Probably not.
