I was curious so I googled - found this for a 7th gen Kindle - "...Kindle 7th Generation. 1. Tap the "search" icon; 2. type ;demo 3. Press the arrow key 4. In the middle of the page, there should be an option something like "Resell....", tap that 5. Select "Resell" 6. It should be restarting, and you end up seeing a picture of a Kindle, with an arrow pointing to the power button in different languages 7. Turn it on again, and register your Kindle all over again"

Since the Voyage is a 7th gen device, maybe it will be the same? Some of the other articles I saw (for other Kindles) suggested the firmware was different in a Demo unit, and had to get creative to get a full firmware version flashed on there.

If you connect it to your computer, does it do anything? If your computer sees it, maybe you can try the normal offline way of updating (download the firmware from Amazon, then copy it onto your Kindle, turn it off, then turn it on again and it should see the new firmware and maybe update?
