Featuring Advanced Purification Technology and a Sleek Space-saving Design,
Company’s Latest PuriCare Solution Delivers Clean Air, Style and Convenience
SEOUL, Jan. 21, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling the LG PuriCare AeroBooster air care solution, an ideal choice for customers seeking to create a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment. The innovative new product provides powerful performance with cutting-edge air purification technology and features a slim, sophisticated design that balances effortless style with unparalleled convenience.
The LG PuriCare AeroBooster utilizes the advanced Aero Series V Filter to draw in pollutants from every direction, effectively reducing the presence of dust, odors, viruses and bacteria for a fresher, more hygienic home. With its Dual Airflow and Clean Booster features, the AeroBooster delivers wider, more efficient air circulation and helps to reduce large dust particles from the indoor space. Purified air is emitted from vents at the top and bottom of the device simultaneously, reaching a distance of up to five and a half meters to fill every corner of the room with clean, filtered air.
The AeroBooster also integrates LG’s proprietary UVnano technology to safeguard the hygiene of the device itself and to maintain the quality of airflow it produces. UVnano removes 99.99 percent of harmful bacteria from the fan’s surfaces,1 while a built-in Ionizer adds another layer of protection by neutralizing harmful airborne substances.2
Thanks to its compact design and modest footprint, the AeroBooster can fit easily in almost any space, providing users with clean air without making their environment feel cluttered or crowded. Along with an ultra-slim form factor, LG’s new PuriCare solution boasts an understated matte finish and a unique air outlet. The minimalist design of the AeroBooster is further enhanced by customizable mood lighting that lets users create the desired ambiance, and an LED display that provides intuitive control and contributes to the product’s sleek, modern look.
In addition, the AeroBooster offers intelligent energy-savings with the ultra-efficient AI+ Mode. Without compromising performance, AI+ reduces the device’s energy consumption by over 49 percent compared to Smart+ Mode, which serves as the default mode of operation.3 When set to Sleep Mode, the AeroBooster runs at an ultra-quiet 21 dBA to help ensure a calm, tranquil environment. Meanwhile, LG ThinQ compatibility allows users to remotely monitor and control the company’s new air purifier from any location.
“The AeroBooster combines advanced air purification technology and a stylish, convenient design to enhance everyday living,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “LG will continue to deliver innovative air care solutions that address the growing need for healthier indoor spaces.”
The LG PuriCare AeroBooster is launching this month in countries across Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan and Singapore, with availability in other markets to follow soon after.

Well, it’s 2024 and technology continues to advance. The TouchPad isn’t new by any means, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be slightly modernized to be more convenient today. Specifically, it is entirely possible to convert the TouchPad’s Micro USB port to USB C for charging and USB storage access. I’ll show you how.
This is a tough mod which requires micro-soldering and modifying a PCB which you will have a hard time sourcing a replacement for without buying another TouchPad. Proceed at your own peril.
Tools for the Job
To do this mod you’ll need a few things for tools and parts. Here’s a list of what I used:
– Needle nose pliers/tweezers
– USB C boards with 5.1k resistors
link hidden, please login to view
– Soldering iron, solder, flux and a hot air station
– Flush cuts
– Dremel with cutting or sanding wheel
– 28 AWG wire or smaller. 30 AWG is pretty good but any wire around 0.25mm to 0.5mm should work.
– Small file and screwdriver set
– Painter’s and kapton tape
– Metal spudger Disassemble the TouchPad
This is where you’re going to want to get that metal spudger out and be very careful not to snap clips. I can’t explain it better than iFixit already did so go check out their and then come back here.
Modify the USB Connector Board by Removing the Micro Port
There are a few ways to remove the Micro USB port. I added a bunch of flux and coated all the connectors in fresh leaded solder and then used a hot air station set to 800 degrees while wiggling the port very slightly with needle nose pliers. You don’t have to be particularly careful here so if you want to cut the port off with the dremel or the flush cuts or just rip it off with the pliers, (I don’t recommend it but…) that’s fine. We’re not using the pads it’s soldered to anyway. You should STILL be careful not to crack the board. Go slow. Be patient.
Trim the USB C Board
We need to expose the USB C port a bit on this board so let’s cut it down. Grab the painter’s tape and flip the USB C board upside down. You’ll see a small trace between the front and rear anchor points on the right side, which we don’t want to cut. Mark the tape just on the other side of that trace like I did. Dremel along the tape line until you get to the port. You can then use needle nose pliers, a flat file, and/or flush cuts to remove the rest of the board from the bottom of the port.
Prepare the USB Connector Board for the USB C Port
We need to slide the port into the old space so grab the painter’s tape again and mark off the area I marked to make room for the USB C port. You can place the port up to it like I did and use that as a guide. Grab your dremel again or a similar tool and cut out what you marked off. When you’re done, the USB C port should slide easily into the groove. It will fit tighter when we add the kapton tape in a later step.
Make Room in the TouchPad for the Added Thickness of the USB C Board
The USB C board will sit underneath the USB connector board so we have to make room by trimming away the plastic underneath. For this you’ll need to use flush cuts or any other tool you have to chip away. You could use the dremel for this if you’d like. Be careful to not go beyond the first inner layer. Beyond that is the outer shell of the TouchPad. There’s no real method here, just cut out the screw posts and chip away. Use the pictures below as a guide.
Cut the USB C Hole from the Old Micro USB Hole
To open the micro USB hole enough to fit the USB C port, take a rounded file to the left and right of both sides and just file a little bit at at time. Use a small flat file to widen the top and bottom of the port. This process is just trial and error. File a little and then grab the USB C board to test. The port will need to fit inside the hole a bit so you can push it through from the outside to test the hole size if that’s easier. Note: the USB C board will likely not rest on the bottom of the TouchPad and will float a little. This is good because it makes room for your wires and a little kapton tape underneath.
Tape the USB C Board
Since we hacked away at the USB connector board it’s possible we’ve provided the perfect environment for creating shorts! Oh no! So get out the kapton tape because we’re going to add a layer on both sides. You’ll see how I did it on one side below. Do it on both sides. You’ll also notice how I did not cover those two small square contacts just at the bottom of the tape. That’s because we need them.
Where To Get Power and Data
You’ll see the diagrams below which I’ve marked with VBUS (power), data in, data out, and ground. Obviously the old port is gone and most if its pads, but I wanted to show that both sides of the board have the connections. You could possibly do this mod differently, and if you so choose, hopefully these help.
A quick note: this mod can be done with a 4-pin USB C port. That would give you power and data just like with the USB C board I’m using in this guide, however, a 4-pin USB C board will not charge with a USB C charger (ie USB 3.1). The board I’m using in this guide provides the ability to use any charger because it comes pre-built with 5.1k resistors wired to CC1 and CC2 to ground. This is the trick that tells the USB C chargers to send power to the device.
Solder the USB C Board into the USB Connector Board
This isn’t a “how to solder tutorial” so hit up youtube and find a good tutorial that works for you. In general though, use flux, pre-tin the VBUS, Ground, D-, and D+ pads on the USB C board as well as the points on the bottom of the USB connector board.
Now for the tricky part, I didn’t list it in the Tools section above, but it would really help to have magnification or a digital microscope for this. I have these things and I used both. You might have steadier hands and better eyes than me. The picture below was my first attempt of the three TouchPads I modded, and it’s not my best soldering work, but fundamentally, this is what yours should look like.
Put the Pieces Together
You can use a bit of kapton tape to secure the wires in place a bit more if you’d like but it’s not required. It won’t short since it’s only plastic underneath. This is all press fit into place, but if you’re uncomfortable with that, you can add a little hot glue under the board as you put it back into the TouchPad. You don’t have to put the metal shield back into place if you don’t want to. It’s all a pretty tightly fit and if you find the TouchPad screen isn’t as flush as you want, just leave the metal shield off. A little kapton tape right on top would be fine instead.
Congrats, You Now Have USB C
I did this mod on three TouchPads and each one works fine with any USB charger I could find, including USB C port having USB 3.1 chargers. I can also confirm the data connection works just like it should to connect via USB mode on PC. Sadly, this doesn’t do anything to stop webOS from telling you the charger you’re using isn’t the original TouchPad barrel charger, but you can make a custom cable to stop that which I’ll cover in a future article on pivotCE.
