With a little construction session it might be possible:

The connector to the mainboard has a lot of pins, but the direct
connector to the fingerprint reader looks a lot like 4 pin USB. It might
be possible to attach a cable there.

I would like to send it to someone who really has the knowledge to be
able to do this, but urgently needs a device (which is tricky, as this
fingerprint readers are just sold in Laptops).

So, if nobody else declares high interest in this device, I can of
course ship it to you!
