After watching countless videos and unsoldering, I believe that the four tabs are indeed soldered. Maybe. The factory appeared to use something other than solder but it responded quickly to a heat gun (time will tell if I accidentally damaged the board because my heat gun is rather large), and popped right off. The trickier part is soldering each individual wire back into place. My soldering iron at work is rather small as we use it on automotive circuitboard prototypes and even that was rather cumbersome to work with. These wires are so close together...
