Disconnect the wall outlet and double-check all connections before you plug the tree in again. It is necessary to align the prongs of the connectors and firmly attach them together. Some brands of pre lit Christmas tree require connecting the connectors by screwing them together. Try removing the ornament or other device you tied to the bulb (if any) and replacing it. Perhaps this will resolve the issue without further troubleshooting.

You should take time to observe each bulb to make sure no loose or missing bulbs are present if only one part of the tree is dark. Make sure all bulbs are firmly in their sockets by checking the bottom of the box for any extra bulbs rattling. If you find any new bulb, unplug the tree again. You must push the new bulb directly into the socket and secure it with a latch or hook. Once all the bulbs are in place. If you happen to find a broken bulb, it must be repaired since it breaks the circuit, and the remaining bulbs won’t work. Many manufacturers use simple push-in bulbs. Push-in bulbs are easy to fix. Put on gloves, pull the bulb from its socket without twisting it by releasing the hook or latch on the side. Grasp the new bulb gently, push it straight into the socket and lock it down with the hook or latch. These tips should help put any pre lit Christmas tree in utmost performance.
