[Elecraft] Ooops -- think I fried the IF amp...

Well, I finished the SSB adapter for my K2/100 tonight and slapped
in. All worked until I switched in the SSB filter then signals
dropped to almost nothing.
OK, problem in the filter, so I got out some wire and a cap and was
jumping the end of the SSB filter chain with the middle (and it did
seem there was a problem in the second half..)
Then without thinking I jumpered the first third of the chain at CD
to the xtal output jack at P3/J10 neatly bypassing the step-down of
T2 and slamming some nice voltage onto the main board and, I assume,
into the IF amp.
Signals were very loud for a moment though!
Now all the audio is gone in all modes -- CW, SSB..ack!
Is it worth banging around trying to chase this, or shall I just
embrace my shame and send the whole mess off to Elecraft?
