Actually, if any significant amount of old solder is left, you didn't do it right. The old solder should be removed with a solder wick or vacuum (both available at radio shack) and replaced entirely. I would also use a small amount of non-corrosive liquid flux in addition to brand new flux core solder for a good connection that will last at least as long again as the factory one did.

flux you get with it.  Reheating old crystalline oxidized joints is an
exercise in futility.
