I have a rough idea about how to solder...but I think I may be running into a problem with the protectant on the board. Maybe that is what is causing my resolder failure.

There was guy here or at the mbworld who offered to resolder for $10 I think. I cant find his post anywhere.
I do hope you are using rosin core solder and not acid core solder. But you do understand a good point..knowing how to solder...you can overheat components or tracks and ruin them lingering too long or using too high a wattage iron..

I don't know who that was that did it for $10......shipping would be twice that....
