So I got one side disconnected but the Rom board side won't budge. Is that side soldered on? I bought a replacement cable and thought it would be an easy swap!!!
 
The ROM side has a plastic retaining piece on it that you need to very carefully remove. This is done by carefully bending the plastic clip on the side to release the retaining block. If you pry too hard, you will break the clip and then you will need to desolder the old one and resolder the new one in.
