Topic: bed stuck in topmost position

My Solidoodle 2's bed is stuck in the topmost position. The unit controls work (kinda) except they do not return to their start positions. The bed moves a 1/4"  down then moves back up. The extruder moves to the left a 1/4" then returns to the corner. The motors are running but it appears the unit's XYZ are incorrect. How do I reset it?

Re: bed stuck in topmost position

Have you tried hitting the home button (left bottom of directional arrows on manual control tab). This should reset all of the values to the correct home locations. (Y = 150, X=150, Z = 0) or something close to that
