Default Oh Crap! I'm an idiot - I hope I didn't just kill my machine

Oh Crap! I'm an idiot - I hope I didn't just kill my machine!
I have a Janome 6600 and I was sewing away. Bobbin ran out so I decided I would clean any lint out.
Bad mistake - I droped the plate cover screw inside the machine! Uggh! What an idiot.
I knew things were going too well. I can't see the screw but I definitely hear it in there. I have not run the machine since this happened nor will I until I get that darned screw out.

My Janome dealer is 1 hour 15 minutes (60 miles each way) away! Anyone know what to do in a situation like this?
Is this something I can get to myself?

I am also upset because I took the Janome extension table off and it has created scratches on the front of the machine base. I usually have it in the sewing table but I right now I have been sewing in the kitchen and decided to use the extension table. Not a good night.
