Ideas for actually booting Kindle DX Demo?

Does anyone have any tips on how to reset a Kindle DX Demo?

Not reset to DX image (that is for later when I actually open it up and have a serial adapter) but actually boot the damn thing?

I am one of those crazy ones who purchased from bangss on ebay a Demo Kindle Dx. See: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=190853

As expected, the DX arrived in a thin bubblewrap envelope(sent to Europe!), which as a bonus the local postlady tried to fit through the mail slot and failed half way through...

Surprisingly the Demo Kindle DX does not appear to be in a bad shape cosmetically.

However, I can not get any signs of life on the screen:the screen is showing Books in 60 seconds message(along with the tree and the person reading a book) at the very bottom it says Battery Low: Please Plug in Kindle to charge battery.

Well, I did just that and after 24 hours the battery is finally showing green.

However, the two methods of resetting have failed me: one being 15 second hold of the power slide button, second the 30 second hold then holding Home button.

Is there any other method?
