What wattage was the soldering iron you used? And I'm not kidding. The low wattage stuff is good for electronics but if you use a high wattage one (like you would use to wire 10-14 gauge wire in your car) you can overheat the circuits you are trying to repair in a delicate situation.

look very nice. what OS is on the laptop?
also make sure nothings grounding out, all connections are tightly connected. aka the ribbon cable/plug for the mouse and keyboards, make sure they're in there straight and securely.
