[Elecraft] K2 sn 5707 in progress. Quick question

[Bernie Gardner]

I've had my K2 kit for a few days and am about finished with the front panel.  
Before proceeding I have a couple of concerns.

1)  As instructed, I did not remove the covering from either side of the 
diffuser backlight panel.  However, I notice that it appears to have 
separated during assembly.  There is a thin film bowed away from the panel.  
It's not clear what I can do about this, or if it is a serious problem.

2) In the reistance checks, everything seemed correct except for U1:pins 1&2 
and J1 Pins 16&17.  The manual states these should be 25k-40k, but I get 
about 22.5k for all of them.  This is close, but is it a problem that the 
readings are not in the specified range?

Thanks for any help!
