Need help repairing Casio J-31W

Hi everyone. Trying to restore this old J-31W and need an advice: there’s a tiny golden spring that fell out while I was taking it apart, I believe it’s a button power spring, but I can’t figure out where it goes. (it’s not the beeper spring, that one is intact).

It has an issue with display flickering and shutting off, and that’s what I was trying to fix, but ended up with front buttons not working.
Any help will be appreciated!

A few weeks ago, I order a a couple of straps from @Tenessean87. Last night I received a great surprised. He included an extra strap!

Not only his straps are just superbly well made…
