The black screen with the white dots was the Glo updating itself.

The hourglass afterimage was likely just ghosting. Get used to that with e-ink. It's not there forever.

Your screen isn't broken and your battery isn't dead. You can get this Glo working.

I'll let someone with more technical knowledge guide you further. But FYI (once your Glo is working), you can actually download the updates on your PC and drop them on the Kobo rather than relying on WiFi or the Kobo desktop app.
