Was wondering when something like this (video below) was going to happen even though it was in the electronic realm. I live alone though and I wasn't fixing it for someone else like in the video below. If I heard someone else talking while trying to fix something electronic earlier it would of meant I lost a wall though. Everything went fine and my items works basically like new.

Reminds me of this though.

He did have the right tools for the most part.

He just messed it up completely.

Best way to find stud is with a test nail ... stud finders are useless ... bang softly with hammer ... feel the stud

I tap on walls myself. If you go to a regular wall especially one with two sides to it that are kind of thinner you can basically kind of learn or see how the studs are behind the wall.

It's easier if it's just a wall between two rooms or basically dividing two rooms if they aren't connected. You can learn how to hit the wall to hear where it's hollow or where the studs are then you can figure out the distance between each stud to as well and where all the hollow points are. This was an easy way for me to learn myself.

You can tap on a wall to figure out where the studs are and it's pretty simple or easy. I'm not an expert, but what I do myself. It's basically in the realm of echolocation. You can hear the sound and/or vibrations travel through the air and once you get the ears for it you can tell where it's hollow really fast or if there's a stud there (depending and such).
