Upstairs lights have gone off but rcd didn't trip!!

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me. All my lights for upstairs suddenly went off yesterday night. That includes one bathroom and 3 bedrooms apart from the shower room which the light and extractor fan is still working. Before it suddenly went off my bulb flickered and then it went off completely, my daughter noticed exactly the same thing in her room exactly the same time. Today my partner replaced all the bulbs for all the bedrooms and checked for any loose wires in the celing fittings and wall sockets but they is no power coming into them whatsoever apart from the shower room which is still working. We checked in our RCD board the 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms are on one circuit but strangely only shower lights are working and the others are completely dead. This incident didn't tripped anything on the rcd board but they is no power coming through. Any help, advise would be appreciated. Especially at the times of lockdown and kids are at home. No current coming through and it didn't tripped either.

Likely to be a loose connection somewhere in the circuit. If the shower lights are definitely on the same circuit, the break in the circuit is going to be after the shower room. Unless you or your partner are experienced with electrical troubleshooting and have the tools to check for continuity from the board to every part of the circuit, I would suggest you get an electrician in. They will come out to this sort of issue as it is urgent, as you really need lights upstairs.

So, is it only lights or sockets as well?

Are there MCBs in your unit or just RCDs? Or you just don't know the difference?
