Hello, I have trimmed my PS2 yesterday (advanced trim and my PS2 is 79003).
I cut a bit wider to be sure not to break anything.
I have a few questions for portabilisers !

Is it possible to cut this size and if so are there any tracks that need to be replaced by wires ?
I saw that Ginger and Gman cut a bit like that :

I also have some questions about some components that are in the rectangles on my pictures :
First Picture :
Green Square :
What is the Microchip 727 ? can I remove it ?
I couldn't find anything on this components, no datasheet ... nothing, I suppose it's a small microcontroller, maybe to manage the fan speed ?

Orange Square :
I found while researching that this component was a 24 bit stereo DAC, the two capacitor next door are for audio output.
Since I plan to use the U-Amp I know I can pull it off.

White Square :
The big 470µF capacitor is surely for the power supply, so I think I can remove it.
But the small ones which are for the video output, I don't quite understand what they are used for and if I can remove them ?
I have not succeeded in identifying the small integrated circuits that there is nearby, I do not know what they are used for ?
So can I take them out ?

Second Picture :
Orange square :
What are these components and their uses ?

Green square and blue :
Removed because it is on the trimmed guide.
