Ask HN: How to read data directly from a flash chip?

I'm an electronics novice (more of a software guy really) but need to dump the flash off an embedded device. It's surface mounted, and the device itself is bricked.

What is a good method to go about this? Are there any flash-dumping-as-a-service companies anywhere? If I need to do this myself, what pitfalls can I expect and what equipment do I need?

The chip is a EN29LV640B btw.
