You may have a small fracture on the PC board.  Sounds like it was making a
marginal connection, and when you put pressure on it to change bulbs, it
went all the way out.  You may be able to locate the fracture with a
magnifying glass.  If so, you could possibly scrape away some of the
dielectric coating on the board and place a drop of solder on it to bridge
the gap.  Another possibility would be to simply run a jumper wire from one
of the working lamps to the faulty one.
