How to restore "view item" web part for Sharepoint List

I'm using Sharepoint 2010 foundation. We have a list available on the site that we use to manage work items. Normally, the options to view detailed list content are "View Item" and "Edit Item". It looks like someone accidentally deleted the list view for the "view item" page, so that when anyone opens an item, all they see is the list item title and a big blank box in the middle. Does anyone know how to restore the list view for a single list item so that we can view the item contents?

Restore an earlier version of the .aspx page. Pref. the last major version. – Marco
that only seems to be an option for individual list items, not views. – lethaljd
You said someone deleted a webpart; I assumed this was on an aspx page with webpart zones. There was no word of a deleted listview in your question. you should clarify this. – Marco
Thanks, Serv. Not a sharepoint expert by any means. Apologies for using the wrong terminology. Edited question – lethaljd
Wait a second, do you mean a listview, or do you mean a list form? for exmaple EditForm.aspx NewForm.aspx and DispForm.aspx? – Marco

Alright; if your form was a non modified-form without further extensions or modifications you have only a few clicks ahead of you, otherwise: you better have a backup.

Disclaimer: I am using the german version of SPD, but the controls are at the same positions as in the English version. See screenshots for clarifications

  1. Open up SharePoint Designer 2010
  2. Open your SP Site
  3. Open the list in question

  4. Click on "new" (see Screenshot below) enter image description here

  5. Fill out the form (Enter name, check form to view, and default form) enter image description here

  6. Boom - you're good to go again. Save it.
