LED TVs Dismantling
Product Information
The LG LED TV belongs to the UR90##### Series and UR91##### Series. The document provides basic instructions for disassembling the product to remove components and materials requiring selective treatment. The product may contain hazardous substances like Pb and BFRs which are covered by exemptions under the RoHS directive. The product includes printed circuit boards (PCB), batteries, mercury containing components, liquid crystal displays (LCD), capacitors/condensers, external electric cables cords, gas discharge lamps, plastics containing Brominated Flame Retardants, components and waste containing asbestos, components, parts and materials containing refractory ceramic fibers, and components, parts and materials containing radioactive substances.
Product Usage Instructions
Tools Required: Screwdriver, nipper, paddle (hera).
Battery Removal: To remove batteries from the remote control, remove the back cover of the remote control first.
PCBs and LCD Module: The back cover of the display can be removed by hand, paddle, and screwdriver. Once removed, this will expose the accessible electronic units (PCBs) which can now be easily removed with hand and screwdriver. LCD (together with their casing) is only left after all other parts like electronic units have been removed. To remove the LCD module, release screws on the bottom bracket, remove the IR, Wi-Fi module, remove the speaker units, and then remove the LCD module.
Power Cord: A power cord plugged into the back of the display can easily be removed by hand and screwdriver.
Storage Instructions: Displays must be stored in accordance with the requirements stipulated in Appendix VIII (1) or (2) of Directive 2012/19/EU and must, amongst other things, be stored in a weatherproof manner. Containers with covers must be used when storing and transporting the displays.

This document covers derivation model 75UR90#####, 75UR91##### which has same conceptual design and dismantling process
Displays must be stored in accordance with the requirements stipulated in Appendix VIII (1) or (2) of Directive 2012/19/EU and must, amongst other things, be stored in a weatherproof manner. Containers with covers must be used when storing and transporting the Displays.
Materials and components for Selective Treatment
Displays may contain hazardous substances like Pb and BFRs which are covered by exemptions under the RoHS directive. However, the majority is present in the PCB assembly. In order to reduce emissions as much as possible, a complete disposal of the old appliance is required. This treatment may only be performed in authorized handling plants.

Product Dismantling Process
Batteries
Batteries can easily be removed from the remote control once the back cover of
the remote control has been removed.
PCBs and LCD Module
The back cover of the display can easily be removed by hand, paddle and screw
driver. 
Once removed, this will expose the accessible electronic units (PCBs) which
can now be easily removed with hand and screw driver. 
LCD (together with their casing) is only left after all other parts like electronic units have been removed.
- Release screw on bottom Bracket
- Remove the IR, WIFI module
- Remove the speaker units.
- LCD module
Power cord
A Power cord plugged into the back of the display can easily be removed by
hand and screw driver
Capacitors > 25 mm
Capacitors > 25 mm are located in the power supply units and can be removed
by nipper
