Yep, I was thinking about this method if they send the wrong controller again.
But, since the machine is new and sort of under warranty, I will insist on full functionality as advertised.. Anything else may be considered as improvement (the seller actually offered to pay for cost of repairs),

I sort of enjoy solving problems like those and at the end of the day I will know what I have.
