Are you getting a message similar to:
"Manufacturer's ID 09 Device ID 00"

If so, what is it?

That means it's your soldering. Double check that you're soldering the right points for your motherboard, clean the TSOP points, scrape them VERY gently with a craft knife to get rid of any surface oxidisation, and use lots of flux.

Yes. Also, if you have a multimeter, you can check your soldering joints with it. Take a close look at those joints. All 4 points (the two pairs you joined with solder blobs) have traces which lead to either pads or other components nearby allowing you to confirm continuity between your newly bridged points.
