Hello, I realize this thread is several years old but I recently found my old Glo HD and wanted to try this great mod. Unfortunately it did not go as well as planned.
I disassembled the Glo HD the most I could but I did not manage to get to the LED stripe :
I started out by unplugging the battery connector, both ribbons connectors (which I believe are for the display and tactile feature). I then unscrewed all 8 screws, removed the battery and took out the main PCB.
I managed to take the front bazel off by heating the front with a hairdryer and by pushing gently, since it is indeed glued, but at that point the display still seemed encased in something else, with no access to the LEDs :
I did try to take off the back plastic cover you can see from pictures 3 and 4 but I immediately broke one of the screwing tabs (bottom right on picture 1). It did not seem to take off easily at all so I did not push it further. Based on the photos from gezzer and guijo, I don't believe their model came with the same inner display case as the Glo HD, but I suppose it is possible I just didn't go as far as them in the disassembly.
So ar far as I can tell, and unless someone here can confirms that this inner case does open up, I don't think the mod is possible to apply on the Glo HD.
