Moved into a house where there used to be an HDMI cable, and a power outlet on a wall where one installs a TV. I know this because a previous owner told me so.
An intermediate owner seems to have drywalled over those items. I want to hang a TV back where one once was, but I can't find the HDMI cable or an outlet (or parts therefrom) behind the wall. This is half inch drywall with insulation being it. Studs are spaced 18" I think.
I have drilled a few inspection holes where the cables used to be, but can't find anything - in part because the insulation makes it impossible to "see" in the wall.
My stud finder has an AC finder, but it seems super unreliable.
Any tips as to how I would find these cables if they are still there (short of just drilling a million holes)?
Thanks.
