The pic is difficult to see, but it doesn't look like there's anything really wrong (although a high res pic would be nice). Just looks like aged rosin, or possibly oxidation. You could always re-solder them.
Awesome, thanks I guess that's good news. Definitely nothing blackened on the PCB, nothing charred... That just means I'm back to square one on figuring out what's up with this thing.

Sorry again for the blurry pic (iPhones cameras suck btw), and I hope you're right. I do see how this could just be aged rosin... None of the other solder points on the other pcb's look aged in this way. Time to dive back into the service manual...
