Hello Tom,
If the socket short circuited - it would more likely cause a short circuit to the power supply - not to the circuit board. You may have damaged a component or more likely, cracked one of the solder/wire joints - if you knocked it hard enough. If you inspect all the solder points you will be able to see if one is cracked. If that is the case it is a simple repair.
Regards,
Tony.
