Possible broken Screen? Any way to test it?

Heya.
I finished prepping my SPI Screen for my upcoming project, but while doing so I discovered that there is a piece of glas broken out, right behind the LEDs that I think are responsible for the background lighting. Im not sure if I caused that damage while removing parts of the white boarder around the screen or if I received it like that, since the part is covered under black tape. I didnt find any broken of pieces at my workbench at least, so I assume it happened during production/packing or some other stage, but who knows..
Here are pictures of the damage:
As you can see, its only a small part that broke of and its located before the actual screen beginns, hence my asumption that its part of the backlight, since this seems to be an Edge-Lit Screen.
Should I expect it to be dead? Any way to test? I dont have the SPI Adapter needed for it yet, so im not sure how to test it..
Any way to test the backlight only?
Its a 3.2" 18-PIN SPI Screen with the ILI9341 Driver.
