Obviously if its a more serious issue it'll make no difference, but better to do this first before thinking about opening it up.

If it's a hard lockup (happened once to me on my H2O when I was modding - nothing worked as here, battery was fully charged) and you want to get the battery to run out (although the battery won't like it), charging it up first is kind of counterproductive.

If you don't dare opening it yourself maybe one of your friends has more experience in that area? If they don't have ereaders make sure to let them know the display is very fragile...

It should be a lot simpler to open the Glo HD than it is with the H2O, or even the old Glo for that matter.
I've already tried charging it overnight for 2 days with 2 different kind of chargers and cables. Nothing happened. I think i will try to wait for the battery run out by itself before opening it.
