Dunno on the downvotes lol, but it's something like a 24 pin connector that I have been able to dig up 0 documentation for. This would be a full blown RE'ing project, so desoldering the NAND would be easier than that because I already have a (one step above low end admittedly) hot air station and lots and lots of dead RAM sticks to remp up practice on

Desoldering is the hardest part, then I can just slap it into one of those NAND/BGA adapters and dump it, no REing required

But

There are also people who will build you one as a service

If that exists, could edge out my desoldering solution, do you have any recommendations of said people?

According to the manual, you can do PC connection using Bluetooth, so give that a try. I found a teardown video and at least the top side of the PCB connector doesn’t have too many connection points. Some high quality pictures of both sides could help identify the likely pinout, and a breakout board would confirm. I would give Bluetooth a shot first.
