So i have a LG 65sj850t-ta TV. Its been a great TV for a few years but recently its started having issues streaming with pauses etc and can not pass an upload test on any of the speed test apps or websites.

I'm not entirely sure if its the Main card or not but at 100 odd dollars its sure cheaper then a 3000 dollar TV.

Has anyone changed out a main card before? Im a Crane Technician so i am not unfamiliar with this sort of work, just i have never worked on a television before.

So first off wouldn't waste your hard earned free time working on such an expensive tv. I would suggest getting a chromecast 4k or roku or whatever ecosystem you are already invested in type device and just plug it in and be done with it. Build in OS on TVs notoriously have issues eventually and this would honestly be your cheapest and quickest fix.

Cheers mate,I'll look into this.

I've heard of a Roku, I'm just not really sure what it is.

I do have an old chrome cast

You're welcome! You can also search up those devices and walkthroughs on YouTube to get a better idea of what to expect. I'll be around if you have anymore questions.
