Complete Oil Pan Gyro/Accel Failure???

I am 99% confident I have a problem with the IMU board. It was much easier to explain my problems via video so here is a link of a demonstration of what is happening with my ArduPilot Mega IMU board. There was a *very* tiny scratch on one side of the board but I am also confident that it does not pose an issue. I have been on the forums looking for someone that has my problem and so far I have not found one person with the same problem. The CLI IMU data just shows it moving all over the place and I don't know what is going on. There is more of a description of the problem underneath the video itself. Please help me!!!!!! I've saved for this project for six months!

I'm having what looks to be the same problem.  I have my AMP/IMU connected via USB directly to my laptop and the configurator is showing Gyro Roll data all over the board.  The Gyro Pitch is bouncing a little & everything else looks like it's functioning OK.  Not sure what's causing this.  Suggestions would be appreciated.
