Your solder joints have not flowed onto the solder pad. The solder is all on the header pins. To make reliable electrical contact, the cross-section should look like the diagram below. See this guide for instructions on fixing these solder joints: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guid ... n-problems
