Technisat Skystar2 KuBand switch problem

There are a lot of Technisat Skystar 2 DVB PCI cards that are unable to switch between the both Ku-Bands using universal LNBs (frequencies from 11700 Mhz and up) the reason for most of this problems is a coil that has been damaged due a shortcircuit in the cable (usually). This coil has been replaced by Albert Houwer and write a short document for anybody that wants to do the replacemente. Download the Coil Replacement SkyStar2.PDF file with images and do it yourself.

Thank you to Albert Houwer for providing the documentation
