I'm not set up for ICSP on this one. I use Olin's LProg for 3V3
PICs, and I think it pretty much disconnects itself from the circuit

Not that I could tell. There's 100uF bulk and a few ceramics
dotted around. Regulator is a 78M33 SMT on a 5V 1A supply

Consumption of the 5V is ~74mA, including an LCD, backlight
and regulator quiescent, with the s/w running. When the reset
button is pressed this drops to ~32mA, and remains about this
when the button is released. The PIC seems to be using 42mA
less in this "idle" state. Most of the 32mA will be being used
by the LCD and regulator. I'd have to get de-soldering to find
out exactly what's using what
