removing the rom chip yet again

I did segasonic's fan method and was wondering how he removed the chip after he made the two cuts. The chip is GLUED onto the board. I did a search and it seems some ppl don't bother to remove it, some ppl removed it by prying it and some ppl dont even have to pry it to remove it.

I take that back, the chip is NOT GLUED onto the board, i just needed to cut more from the traces. Just below the chip is a white film.

however, there is a little brown string that attaches to the white film to one of the trace, anybody know what this is?

Ok I'll help you here. Find the ground for the rom chip, shouldn't be hard it will be either labled as VCC or you'll see it go to the main ground. Cut that and you should have solve the rom problem, as long as the rom can't power itself your good.

there was three GND from the rear side of the cart slot and only two from the chip according to the pinout. What do you do with this extra GND??
