My question is do you think the problem with chain 2 is the capacitor that the 63rd chip? Would you do something different that re-soldering if you faced these errors?

I assume you're talking about one of the large electrolytic caps? I doubt it would cause the issue you are seeing. If it was one of the caps in the boost circuit that generates the 1.8V signal for the last voltage domain, maybe the regulator could go unstable, so that would mess up all the chips in the last voltage domain though.

Also, just re-soldering those chips is a bit of a shot in the dark. The problem could be those chips, or the chips after, or sometimes even just another chip in the same voltage domain.
