Demo units work the same as "normal" units. How do you know that it is "off"? You cannot trust the LED status on a bricked kindle. USB Downloader mode, and fastboot mode, do not modify the eink display. For the K5, do this:
1. Plug into host PC USB.
2. Hold power button until power LED off.
3. Press Home button.
4. Release the Power button.
5. Release the Home button.
6. The host PC should see it as a Freescale USB device (different names for different models, not "Kindle").
This has been documented many times.
