Default Repairing Floor Lamp?

Make sure the lamp is UNPLUGGED, use your finger nail or some other
implement and slightly pull upwards on the little silver tab inside the
middle of the socket. It's a fairly common cause of lamp sockets not
working. The base of the bulb may not be touching the tab resulting in
your current problem.


This is good to know, thank you! I tried it, but in this case, it is not the
problem.
