hitachi convergence chip

[mahal]

Hi!

I have a Hitachi 57F500 that has convergence problems.
Going through a lot of DIY sites, I decided to try fix it myself.
I already have the two STK392-150 to replace the 110's.
I hit a snag trying to pull out the board so I can desolder the old chips.
I don't want to force anything so I stopped when I can't easily pull out
the plugs. I have a photo where I marked the areas that I have some
difficulty.

There's only 8 connectors. 3 flip up the other 5 pull up. Look for release tabs on the 5. I believe they just pull up. If your afraid, take a small flat head and pry on the sides.
