How ML gets shutter actuations?

Hello ML users, my question as the title says is how magic lantern gets the shutter actuations of the camera? I have a 600D with 43k clicks. For an unknown reason about 1 and a half week ago the camera died (fried motherboard) so I took it to the service. They replaced the main pcb and now the camera shows 13k clicks. So my guess is that they put a used one but before making a complain (because also wired remote port is not working) I would like to know the clicks are measured. Where is this number stored in?

ML gets the value from a property: PROP_SHUTTER_COUNTER

Just wondering, is the camera serial number in the exif info of photos still the same as before ?
Maybe you got complete another camera
