Defective Magnetometer?

Hello DIY Drones community -- I am currently putting my first ArduPilot Mega board together and have all of the soldering done and the firmware loaded.  When I go through a few of the tests I noticed that the compass test is returning all zeros, even when moving the board around.  I desoldered the board from the pin header to check everything out and noticed that 2 pins on one of the ICs are crossed with solder.  Would someone be able to tell me if this is normal?

  • Yes, those two pins on that IC are supposed to be that way.
