    Cold solder is what happens when the solder didn’t quite reach the temperature needed to completely melt and do contact, so it looks brittle and would be potentially a faulty connection.

    With that said I couldn’t spot it in the pic

      There are a bunch of questionable solder joints.

      Like half the pins.

      But the absolute worst is the 5th pin down on the far left side. There’s so little solder used that you can see into the hole.

      A few others are also a bit lacking as well. Almost all of the joints are ugly as sin…
