41CV won't turn on after reassembly. Did I kill it?

That's more than a bit high. The standby current should be in the low microamps. Might be a mechanical issue, e.g. a key being held down by a part of the case.

Yeah, that struck me as awfully fishy. A stuck key could be a possibility; I know Pioneers can react like that, seeming like they're dead (I got a cheap 32S that wouldn't power on, and just ended up having to fix a stuck key). I can't imagine what would be sticking a key, though. I didn't remove the keyboard PCB, so it's not like something would have gotten wedged in there. Now, electrically stuck from contacts/traces getting unintentionally bridged somewhere, that I could see. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a good air dusting.
