Help! Vertical Lines & No Sound Or Boot After Installing Bivert/LED Board (GBP).

Troubleshooting

Hi guys.

I bridged two pins while installing a Bivert/LED board on a GBP. It took me a lot of trial and error to remove the bridge, and I definitely applied some heat to the connections by the two pins at the top of the Bivert board. I made sure there were no bridges/shorts, powered it on, and I'm getting no boot-up sound, and moving/differing vertical lines on the LCD.

It's not the screen. It was working prior to doing the Bivert install. Also no boot-up sound now.

Is it salvageable? Solder joint issue? Damage to the GBP or Bivert board?

Let me know. I got the GBP for $40, so no big deal if I killed it.
