David, Don't feel too bad - it happens to lots of folks. This is the 3rd instance that I recall in the last 2 days where the problem turned out to be a bad solder connection. It is by far the most common problem encountered by builders. So much so that I often say "Check the soldering, and then re-check the soldering, and when you have finished that - check the soldering".
