I don't think that's very likely. (Nothing smoked, right?). Disconnect your test gear and check that you can get normal reception, that will tell you if anything is dead.
Once you know it's basically working:
Double check all the connections after leaving it alone for a while. Sometimes a mistake is right in front of you but requires fresh eyes to find it.
RF/IF gain is very sensitive to the AGC/bias voltage. You may need to adjust the input signal level through a wide range to get something through, and if that doesn't work, adjust the applied AGC/bias voltage.
