Looking closely at that fuse (F1), you can see the fuse (the squiggly line).  It is encased in what looks like clear blue/green plastic.  Perhaps so you can see it... it is a fuse after all.  I am wondering if an exacto knife type blade could just slice through it, breaking the connection.  Granted, you would have to be careful not to damage anything else... but I trust myself more to do that than to de-solder a component.
