If you bought it within the last several months then it almost certainly contains a D2E chipset. But even if it doesn't you can just get a D2Pro or a wiikey2 as they support all chipsets.

There is a 100% chance the chipset is GC2-D2E and covered in black glue.

I've heard of people removing the resin with a dremmel, but I'd be very nervous about doing that myself.

Theres a few how too's floating around, if was to heat it and use scalpel apparantly it comes off the size off cornflakes.. then use fibreglass pen on the legs etc.. but i will leave alone till warranty passed.. my nieces is G2C-DMS which is good so i might just swap or my new one lol and mod that.. thanx to all
