It wasn't the solder joints but it was due to ACCESS bending the hell out of the cable, almost 360 degrees . So to fix the issue I unbent the cable by counter-creasing it and then I twisted it in a circle so that the bends are very obtuse. Closed the unit up and now it runs very bright. I hope this helps many who are having the same problem.

Thanks Z. This is exactly what my Rack was doing, and exactly the fix for it.
