advise required

thanx for your interest.

i dont have a voltage tester, my wife has verified that my son just fitted the light bulb in his room and it didnt work, and lights that were on upstairs went off.

he wouldn mess with wiring, and when i checked the rose all connections were good and sound.

this event caused the fault, too remote to think a wire has suddenly decided to jump out of a connection somewhere else at this time

completely stumped

thanx

A wire will not have jumped out, but it is possible a high fault current has tried to pass through a bad joint, and blown the joint open circuit
 
thanx for the reply.

should i go around the upstairs rose connections to look for a bad joint that has gone open circuit?, is that were i should look?
Should i see some kind of witness marks on the joint?

should the fuse have blown first?

Uncle who is a spark is coming down tomorrow, but would like to check out as much as possible today.

thanx
