IC451 is the small 7-pin vertically mounted IC, clipped to the heatsink which runs down the centre of the main pcb.
From the underside of the pcb the pins run parallel to a strip of the plastic chassis moulding.
The original is best desoldered with a fine desoldering braid as solder pumps may be to aggressive against the soldering points and the weakened print could easily be damaged.
After removal of the old IC the soldered pads should be cleaned. The replacement IC requires a film of non-silicone based heat-sink compound. I would also brush the pcb pads with liquid solder flux to ensure a good soldered joint to the replacement IC.
Although, this is a simple repair, I recommend the job is carried out by a suitably qualified person. Very high voltages remain inside the TV after the power is switched off.
