For one, I think you need to resolder your wires. There's no reason they should be coming loose if you soldered them properly. But if the other wires are fine, you need to check to make you didn't bridge any points on the board when you soldered. You'll definitely need a magnifying glass for this.
As far as flashing...your problem is a common one. Did you use a parallel cable to program it? If so, try connect the programmer directly to the parallel port. I know it's a pain in the ass but most people can't get it to program with a cable for some reason.
However, if your soldering wasn't done properly, your computer might not see the viper anyway.
The most important things to do when programming the chip is: plug in directly to parallel port like I already, and follow the direction "exactly" as they say. I know that sounds common sense, but the first time I tried it, I didn't do it in exact order and it didn't work. So this is what you do:
Open the viper loader program --> load the bios into the program --> connect viper programmer to the parallel port on your computer --> power on the gamecube --> press the "write" button --> after it flashes, press compare.
Another helpful tip: restart your computer before you load the bios.
If it still won't recognize the gamecube, then your either your programmer or connections on the board of the cube are faulty.
Good Luck:)
