Hey, to be honest i can't say which it is without seeing but when soldering, look for a shiney solder finish, generally a dull finish on your solder means a "cold solder joint" and does not conduct as well as a shiney one does (believe it or not). Also presolding the tips of the wires is helpfull too for conductivity. I'd check each joint and look for a clean nice joint (no pun intended) and any of them that didn't look great, i'd resolder. If they look good and you still have the prob, that only leaves the chip or backup. Sorry i can't be more help but hopefully this is a start for ya.
