I may have killed my Pro One...

Well, now I've really gone and done it...
My Pro One was working just fine, save for some really dirty switches on
the front panel, so I thought I'd give it a cleaning.
I got some DeOxit and opened up the Pro One, removing the PCB from the
front panel. I cleaned the switches with the DeOxit and also cleaned
the pots as best I could. Everything felt great.
Then I put it back together and plugged it in - NO OUTPUT! I opened it
up and checked both the 16 pin cable from the keyboard and the power
cable, as well as checking the connections to the pitch bend and mod
wheel - everything is fine, so I plugged it back in - still nothing.
The gate LED lights every time a key is pressed, so I know that it's
interfacing with the keyboard. There was no output from either
oscillator or the noise source. The only audio I DO get is when
powering it down - flip the power switch and it clicks, then gives a
short "DOOoooo...." - definitely a pitch from one of the oscillators.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim
