Loose connection maybe. My tilt and telescope stopped working for at least two years and then out of no where bout started to work automatically again. Yes things can get weird.

Those bulbs screw in to the connection on their base. So they do get kind of shaky if not tightened very well. And they might loose connection.

Good to know it's fixed, but very surprised as you weren't able to get it done at 2 times.
