They said they tried extracting all the data and putting it on several other cars (2 gig, 4 gig and 16 gig) of the same make and model series from SanDisk, but none of those managed to boot it up.

Now, them saying they "extracted" the data sounds to me like they just copied the files over and didn't make a full clone of the card, so I'm betting that's what held them back. Especially if they used Windows to copy the data it's easy to miss partitions on the card. I myself have a USB memory stick that has separate partitions for data (shows up in every OS) and for running Linux straight from the stick (shows up only in Linux without using specific programs), and considering Kobos run Linux it could well be the main OS partition that they're missing.
