So I found out today that P-channel MOSFET in SOT23 will function in place of a three-terminal regulator in SOT23. Except for the "regulation" part. The transistor had "33" printed on it, so I assumed it was the 3.3V LDO. Wrong assumption. Looks like the rest of the circuit survived. I was impressed with how bright my LEDs were shining.
