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.

It says "RF module"... That would be one hint.

    Sorry for a late reply. I do just know what I'm looking for, no service manual needed. I was actually looking for a coaxial cable for a antenna for the WiFi chip which I assumed was integrated on the processor board. But this display ran a separate rf module off a ribbon cable. It did take a minute to realize. But I knew that was WiFi at a minimum, turns out that also removed Bluetooth which was a plus. It has a IR remote so I gave the receiver in the TV a quick look and its just a button, led, and the IR receiver so that was all separate and good to go. If the WiFi was integrated I would have unplugged the antenna, but on this TV it took 1 screw to remove the whole rf module.
