Did you get the game bit screws out? because if you just cut out the plastic around it they will sill hold the board down.
Also have you removed the eject button?

They are the ones that hold the two sides together often called "Nintendo Screws" They are Gold and there is six of them, two located right by the cart slot.

If you have a dremel you can cut them of... heck a hack saw would work.

I think I know which screw you are talking about. If you are trying to save the case try checking under the stickers (I didn't find which one it is under). If you are not going to save the case (like me) keep breaking the bottom apart until you get to the screw post that holds the mobo in place then snap the post. I think you might have an integrated sound processor on your SNES. Lucky You!
I'm thinking the SNES with hidden screws does have the onboard sound processor, the one with easier to find screws does not.
