Latest update: July 2021

 

Please note: The below described modification is for informational purposes only. Perform at your own risk!

The author assumes no responsibility for any consequences, including destroyed equipment or injuries to people.

 

The LNBs arrived from a local SAT TV equipment store for a price of 15 EUR /item.

 

 

A T-09 (TORX) screwdriver is required to open the (sealed) aluminium enclosure.

 

 

Preparation of the PCB: Two components and some PCB copper tracks have to be removed.

 

 

After removing the excess components and tracks and thoroughly cleaning with alcohol the LNB is ready to solder two new capacitors and one resistor to the PCB.

 

 

Last (but not least ;): the final touch!
