Did I kill my pi 0?

Hi all, I'm working on a GBZ build. I hooked up my screen to the pi 0, installed retropie onto my SD card, popped it in, and all was good, the activity LED and display came on. Until I tried soldering the controls. Using this guide viewtopic.php?f=22&t=57 I soldered to the GPIO pins. (Idk if this is relevant, but i'm using a PRS common ground board) Then i plug in my power and..... nothing. No status LED, no video on the screen. I popped the SD card into another pi 0, and the activity LED started flashing, so I know that's not the problem. Have I somehow killed my pi? I followed the adafruit guide to no avail.
Here's a pic of my soldering (I know not the best my equipment isn't very good and I'm a noob. no the red and black wires on the usb power test pads aren't shorted.)
