Use a small flat blade screwdriver to remove the chip. Carefully place the head of the screwdriver between the chip and the socket. Lift one end of the chip out of the socket, but not all the way. Go to the other side and carefully lift that end. The chip should now be removed from the socket. Be careful not to bend any pin of the chip when removing it. If you do, use fine needle-nose pliers to straighten them out.
