Have you checked all the other functions of the microwave? Do you have power to the display? Will it accept cook commands?

You probably have a disconnected socket, or when the light blew, it burnt through a wire lead. You'll need to uninstall the microwave and remove the cabinet cover (10 or more screws) to access the socket.
