Mine looks like that too. And that's from when the original DS was still pretty new.
[Edit] Oh, yeah. My pins broke so I tore that metal off to try to fix it. I saw it like that in a video, but I think I did see other pen marks.

Also, what's wrong with having a refurbished unit as long as it still works perfectly and looks good?

I'm quite confident that it's legit. Most fakes don't have the word Nintendo on it correctly, if at all. This looks to be the real deal.

No its not fake, the problem is, what parts are original other than main board?

I bought a slot-1 from chinese website and its not good as original. All my flashcart needs a paper trick to recognize them

my dstwo is often not recognized :(
