Leroy, I unplugged the AC first then removed the back and saw the convergence in the front so I went up front and removed the front panel then just took out the convergence board repaired it with the new STK392-108's. I put it back in put on the front panel, put the back on plugged it in touched up the convergence wrote the bill. I was like you the DVI plug was not clearly marked so I don't know which pin is pin 1 either. I did keep the room fairly dark and did not shine my flashlight directly into the inside of the set. I can't answer your HDTV question either this one was hooked up to a cable box that is not HDTV.
