USB Downloader mode does not use the eink screen. It will show whatever was there when you did the "magic key" sequence, which has no visible difference from being bricked other than the USB VID/PID showing it is in USB Downloader mode. If it was not bricked it MIGHT clear the screen during the long power hold. If you clear the screen then go into diags mode, you are not entering USB Downloader mode. Because the "magic" key is wired directly to the CPU, it MUST go to USB Downloader mode regardless of mmc contents, unless there is a hardware problem. Remember that a bricked kindle may completely discharge the battery beyond what is normally considered healthy for the battery, which might interfere with USB Downloader mode until it gets enough charge.
