USB Wireless Broadband/DLNA Adaptor Familiarization

Note the USB Adaptor will not work in any thing

other than a Wireless ready LG TV.
Power
LED

If there are questions about the functionality of the

USB Adaptor, first make sure the LED illuminates. If
it does not, try any USB jump drive that has an LED.
If it lights and the USB Wireless adaptor LED does
not, replace the adaptor. Or you can plug the USB
Wireless adaptor into any USB port on your laptop.
The LED on the side of the USB adaptor should
illuminate, it will be dim compared to when it is
illuminated by plugging it into the TV, but it should
light. If it lights in the Laptops USB but not in the TV,
check the USB 5V driver IC8000 on the Main board.
Pins 2 and 3 should be outputting +5V for the USB.

USB Wireless Broadband/DLNA Adaptor Troubleshooting

If there are questions about the USB Adaptor and/or the TVs ability to connect to
the internet Access point, try the following checks. You should carry with you a
simple Wireless router set up with no security. Disconnect the Customers
Wireless router and hook yours directly to the Internet feed from the customers
modem. See if the TV will connect, if the answer is no, then make sure you can
connect via your computer. If yes, use a long cable between router and modem
and move the router closer to the TV. If this corrects the problem they will need to
relocate the router. If not, connect your Wireless Modem via wired LAN connector
to the TVs LAN input. If the TV works this way, the TV is OK. If you dont have a
Wireless router, you can also test the TVs ability by downloading A trial copy of
Nero MediaHome or the latest version of Windows Media Player and installing it
on your Laptop computer. (If you have Windows 7 theres no need to install Nero
Home). Connect your Laptop via wired LAN connector to the TVs LAN input. You
will not be able to see the Internet, but you should be able to see media files in
your shared folder on your computer. If you can the TV is working normally and
the fault lies with the Wireless USB adaptor.
