@SaschaFranckI am not sure whether it fell out or off, but it was definitely loose. THe whole reason I opened the helix up was because the toe switch is not functioning, as a matter of fact, don't know whether this could have to do with it. Thanks for the suggestion, any idea on how I might go about re-attaching?

Hi,

 

Looking at the photo, it appears to have 2 captive nuts attached, one each side of the rubber block.

Measure the the distance between the centres of the nuts, and then try to find 2 bolts that are a similar spacing apart.

 

As you mentioned that you were in the process of trying to clean the Exp toe switch, I would start by looking in that area.

 

Furthermore, the rubber block seems to have square shaped indentation on the surface, which would seem to imply a square shaped object with slightly raised edges has been making contact with it quite regularly.

 

Grab a torch and get in there.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

I gave up, didn't see anything around the circuitboard that corresponded and was putting the whole thing back together, when I noticed two screw holes in the bottom cover that matched up. So i screwed back in to the sheet metal, not 100% the utility and didn't fix my original problem, but appears to be where it belonged.
