I need to email them a copy of my receipt and they indicated they would arrange to replace the device. I have an open case and they said I would be contacted within 48 hours for replacement details.

My unit is working fine, but I was curious based on the other posts and also didn't want to run into any warranty issues if I needed to make a claim. If you haven't already done so, you may want to contact them as well.
I'm puzzled by why it's an issue, especially if the "demo" was still in a sealed package (thus had not been handled by shoppers).
