Check continuity on the LCD test points to the Pi GPIO, chances are one of the solder joints could be broken.

Re: screen stays white and doesn't turn on
this is what I got from the test of connectivity from the screen to the pi-
vcc is connected to 3.3v on the pi
gnd is good
cs is good
rst is connecting to the rst on the board that I soldered to the pi, but not the pi itself.
d/c is good
sdi wasn't working but I added solder and now it's working fine
scl is connecting to sck on the pi, but not scl
led is fine
sdo (or soo, couldn't tell) is fine
should I solder a direct wire from rst on the board and rst on the pi?

Reset is vital to get the LCD working, all pins need continuity to work not just some.

Re: screen stays white and doesn't turn on
thanks so much! I got the screen working by soldering the reset pin on the pi directly to the reset pin on the board.
