If you get to the point where you can turn the reading light off, then the device should be booting to nickel. But, how are you turning the light off? The Glo HD does not have a button to do this. It is turned off through the UI. You have to tap the light icon and adjust the level using the slider.

Are you sure this is a Glo HD? That you have a Glo, and this appears to have a button for the light, makes me wonder if it is actually an Aura HD. You can use https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/artic...or-Kobo-tablet to check exactly what you have.

As to the screen, if it is not plugged in correctly, the device will probably boot. But, it won't be able to write to the screen. If the device is assembled correctly other than this, you might be able to navigate the screens to connect to the PC.
