Can I change by my self the defective convergence IC on my TV?
I would clean the lenses with alcohol and q-tips before i try to change an IC chip. My RCA had the same problem. I tried to use the auto convergence and the picture was out alignment. I took off the button bar by taking off the speaker cover and taking out about seven screws (7/64" allen key type) 3 in the front and 4 in the back. Let the power bar hang. You should be able to get to the lenses. Turn the power on and clean them so you can tell when there is no more streaks.
If that doesn't help maybe your convergence IC is bad. If you have to ask if you can replace it yourself you probably shouldn't try it. It take special tools and some practice to solder IC chips. Good Luck.
