The problem started when I synched using the Kobo s/w and it automatically upgraded to 2.1.4 - 10/11/12. Couldn't get past the Release Notes splash page, couldn't turn it off.
This fix worked for my bricked Glo as well.

I held the light button down, and flicked the power switch repeatedly until I got the disco ball led, then everything went smoothly after that.

Thanks for the great advice.

It's too bad Kobo won't publicize this very easy fix.
