Simple things to try, real simple:
Does this use a standard on-off switch? Could be flaky. If just two wires running to it, just short it and then plug it in, see what happens. Suprising how many sets have been tossed because of a bad switch.

Is the cord okay? Got voltage to the chassis?

With it plugged in and switched on, take a stick or ruler and push on different areas of the board, so that it really flexes. Sometimes that will close the bad solder joint. Might be able to narrow it down. The cracks of a bad solder joint can be really, really small. Magnifying glass time, and if in doubt just solder it.
