Need electrician advice - Replaced light switch successfully, but no power in other areas connected to same breaker panel switch

It is not hot because it is supplying the other lights hence they do not work. I am almost certain it needs connecting to one of the other blacks, the correct one will make the others live, the incorrect one will make the others live when that switch is on but off when it is off.

Thank you - appreciate your input. I will try it now and keep you posted.

Turn the switch you have replaced off to avoid confusion.
