    LG 55LE5400 with Network "Grayed out" in menu

    Hi folks,
    I'd like to get your opinion on an issue I'm having with my LG 55LE5400. The TV is unable to connect to the internet. Even after multiple factory resets, it's showing "Network Settings" and "Network Status" grayed out in the "Network" Menu.

    The processor on this board has gone through professional "reflow" process as the USB ports didn't work, the speakers were buzzing, and backlight was flickering, and no network --- after reflow and pin x-ray, all is working except the Network.

    Could Ethernet be disabled somehow in the config? I know one of the gurus here suggested "Smart Remote" and accessing Service menus, but I don't know if this is applicable to this model, and I don't know where to look. Help is much appreciated.

          yes, I have read it. Anything, in particular, you'd like me to refer to in the manual? This is not my first LE series, and I don't recall issues with Ethernet (wired) with previous sets.
          what I'm referring to is page 56 of the manual you kindly provided a link to, lists Network Setup / Network Status.. these two items are grayed out.
          Connected Ethernet cable doesn't generate any Activity / Link LEDs to activate on the TV or on the Ethernet switch - it's like the port is disabled, or turned off.

              i didnt get the manual as its a large file .
              am wondering whether you need to activate it in another menu such as security settings or something ..

                  I couldn't find any other menu, user accessible at least to enable Ethernet. I was wondering if it could be in service menu? or what you guys thought about this scenario?

                      Turned off in the service menu? there is a android app posted in one of the lg threads that may get you into the service menu without the proper lg service remote.

                          That's exactly what I need help checking. I downloaded the SmartRemote.. got into the service menu.. but I don't know where to look for enabling / disabling Ethernet. (I did look through all the menus, but I can't seem to find it in plain english, and maybe someone knows?)
                          Thank you

                              Home network connection problem
                              by davg
                              I just bought a new ThinkPad laptop and I need to connect it to my home network. I have several computers on my network and can see each other in File Explorer and the older ones can communicate with each other (even with the new one) but the ThinkPad can see the other computers but can't communicate with them. I get the (network error 0x80070035 The network path not found). I tried several scenarios that I found on line but none of them worked?? Since the other computers on the network can communicate fine I'm assuming the problem is with the setup of the ThinkPad? All computers are running Windows...

                              Maximum speed should be marked on network ports
                              by japlytic
                              I noted that a number of consumer entertainment devices have the maximum speed marked on the wired network port and considering that there are broadband plans faster than 100 Mbit, the wired network port can be a bottleneck since some routers do not have Gigabit (only 100 Mbit) support for the WAN port let alone the wired network ports.

                              One other thing: Certain low cost network cables only have two pairs which limits speed to 100 Mbit.​

                              Hello,

                              So I was referred here when I made this poste over on AVForums: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/loc...lg-tv.3257234/

                              To summarize, this is a commercial TV and I can't get a menu of any kind. I know the overlay is working because when I change channel, adjust volume, turn on sleep timer I do see text. But I have not ever seen the user menu nor the installers menu. I've tried a bunch of remotes(more info on the AVF post) and tried every button...

                              Reflow equipment
                              by tony359
                              Hello all,

                              I am experimenting a bit with reflowing larger components - ideally I'd like to reflow a PS4 APU or a GPU for example.

                              I know it's impossible to reflow such large components with just hot air so I bought a pre-heating plate, T-8280 classic Chinese machine, which seems to be working fine besides it's a little slow, which shouldn't be a big deal.

                              Now, my hot air station is a Aoyue 852A++ and I feel it's a bit weak when used with larger nozzle. I tried reflowing a laptop chipset using one of those large, rectangular, nozzles and I failed miserably,...
