Dealing with the security chip?

I know I'm supposed to cut the fourth pin... but HOW? I can't do it with the capacitors in the way, and I can't find anything small enough to cut it with. I've heard to try an exacto knife, but I can't do it with one. Any tips?

You dont actually need to cut it just solder a wire to it then ground it. and you may want to add a switch later cause some games actually use it.

Use a pair of fine tipped cutters to cut the forth pin, then plot a bit of solder onto the chip side of what's left, then connect it to a nearby metal strip for ground. If your from the UK, go to Games Workshop and but the Â£6 yellow handled cutters from there, they're perfect. If your from the US (most likely), then I dunno, go to Radioshack or whatever
