Solved: Kobo glo unresponsive

My 3 y.o. glo was 'stuttering" showing the wrong recent book when sleeping, putting closed books at the end of the recently read section instead of the beginning, etc. I backed up on a linux machine and was ready to do my first ever back to factory default. I have .kobo and .koboimages

However, it was out of case and it fell 2 feet. It will turn on if plugged into a usb via charger or via computer - but will not turn off or on via the power switch.

The usual first screen will come on with no artifacts or cracks noted. Soon after the 'Computer detected" screen will overlay and the choice of cancel or connect is displayed. However all touch input is unresponsive.

I can perform a hard reboot after removing the usb from power source, but again, neither the on/off switch nor the touch screend works.

I can see on the router that it sees the kobo as 192.168.100.107 but I cannot ssh in - but what username to use prior to @192.168.100.107 and would that work to an unmodified kobo? Does it use an alternative port - not 22?

1. Any ideas about a way to get into the unit via my wifi connection to it?

2. Is there any chance I might see something that I could fix after opening it up after draining all power?

3. Are there any parts inside that I would like to salvage if it is scrap

Thanks in advance.
