This is it:

The patent images even have a schematic for the timer/switcher circuit.

The two components in the patent schematic are either T1/T2 (Q2/Q43,
or is it Q2/U20?) or Q4/Q5 on the board. I'm guessing more around
Q2/Q43(U20?) but the easiest way would be if someone could draw up a
simple schematic for the pads on their board.
