Use a multi meter or a continuity tester to test each solder point. You have to make sure that your solder didn't run to far, hence causing a short that could cause damage to the lcd or your computer. Hold one test post on first solder point and test every other solder point with the other test post. Then move to the first test post to the the next solder point and continue testing until you have checked all 16 solder points.
