dcb - Looking at your re assembly pics gives me the idea to do the same tonight. The last time I resoldered everything my LCD was REALLY close to the main board.. It didn't look like anything was touching, but who knows.
How exactly did you remove the plastic from the header? an exacto knife?
Also - the pins that aren't used are 7 thru 10 on the header correct?
I noticed one of your older pictures of the home-built MPGuino and those pads/pins were not there because you guys soldered wires to every connection..
So - tonight I will attempt a repair.
