What happens here
The first step involves carefully removing the existing switch plate. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the plate from the wall. Once the screws are removed, gently pry the switch plate away from the wall to reveal the electrical box and any wiring behind it. In this specific case, the plate was covering an empty electrical box or a pre-existing hole that needs to be patched.
Goal: Access the drywall hole to be repaired
