Need a way to remove, reflash and reinstall eMMC chip to unbrick

My Shield TV is bricked, and I believe the only way to fix it is to desolder the eMMC chip, reflash it with a correct image (and possibly replace it with a high-capacity chip) and resolder it to the board. The chip is a Sandisk SDIN9DW4-16G and it’s surface mounted so the solder bumps are under the chip. I have neither the skills nor the tools to fix this, so I need to find someone to do it for me but I have no idea where to look. Any suggestions for me? Thanks

Just out of curiosity is there any particular router why you want to go this repair route? Seems brand new versions of Nvidia Shield TV with remote and controller included can be bought off Amazon.ca for around $250 Canadian and shipped to the door in 2 days. :-)

1) I'm hoping I can get it done for much less than that and 2) the internals are 4 years old now (yes, even the 2017 model) and it's definitely not worth $250.
