Did you previously try the laptop on the 16-pin OBD port? Maybe it will work now.
Unless you have some device that can scan the car, you can't really test the ports functions.
A cheap way to do this is to use a small Bluetooth or Wi-Fi ODB adapter and an app on your smart phone. BT for 'droid, Wi-Fi for iOS. I have the INPA/PASoft etc. laptop but I keep a small BT adapter in the glove box for emergencies away from home.
