I agree with what Ken said above, it's most likely that the only damage on the used Glo you buy will be a broken screen.

The picture of your soldering job shows several scorch marks around the area. It's possible that the circuit board and USB port is damaged beyond repair from overheating where you tried to solder it.

I would cut my losses with that reader and either get a used one with a broken screen to swap out, or get a new reader.
