Actually - I did use an X-Acto knife to cut the trace - I used a small blade that comes to a fine point. I cut the trace just above the actual connector contact. If you look closely you will see the ground trace (double width) branches to connector pads 35 & 36. Where the ground branches to connector pad 35 is where I made the cut to break the ground connection to connector pad 35. I removed about 1-mm or so of copper material to insure good isolation.
That make sense???

What tools did you use to cut the copper connector? I thought about using an X-acto knife but it doesn't seem like the right tool. Any advice? Also, can you explain a bit more how you cut the copper connector in a bit more detail than you did on your blog?
Thanks,
