We solder 16 pin headers onto LCDs all the time. Perhaps your soldering temp
or choice of solder is the problem?

Subject: [AVR-Chat] OT: Soldering LCDs

Hi!

After a short hiatus (house painting, travel etc) I'm back trying to get my
LCD to work!

After soldering a couple of jumpers on a board with some pitted tracks,  I
_have_ managed to get the LCD to work.  However, not reliably.  My issue now
seems to be soldering the SIL header to the LCD and the lack of positive
contact between the pins/sockets.

The LCD would appear to be at least doubled sided, with tracks on both
sides.  Do I need to solder both sides of the LCD to the SIL?

TIA,
Adam

PS: LCD's sure are hard to de-solder!
