 Why not just desolder the connector? Braid works well
for some of those
plated through boards, just watch the heat or it can lift the pads. 
I managed to dismantle the plasma display and all of the cables can be
disconnected at the display end. It would have been a lot easier to fit PSU
and mother board connectors as well. Just have to clean up the mother
board now.
