I'm not sure about the board, but I do know that there was recently (within the past 2 months) an ebay seller that made "reproductions" of this cart/demo and selling them for 50 bucks a piece. I actually vented about how angry it made me when I first learned about it, and then I was contemplating buying one myself, but I didn't. Needless to say, I wouldnt be surprised if someone bought one of those repros and tried to sell them for the price of a legit cart. I'd try to get your money back. Does it play like the demo does?
