A question concerning soldering:

Should I fill whole hole with solder?

After checking control board I found there are few connections which are 
not 100% filled with solder. However, all connections have been soldered.

Another question:

U9 (audio amplifier circuit) in control board seems to be installed a 
bit too high. There is very small gap between the circuit board and IC's 
bottom. Gap is less than 1 millimeter. Should I try to remove and 
re-place (and destroy) the IC or let it be as it is?

First resistance checks were OK after viewing list archives. My cheap 
DMM was giving odd results at first (due to capacitors?). Most of the 
resistances were pretty high (megaohms). I couldn't get exact values. 
Some of them were said to be between some limits. There were all fine.
