If you DO find a damaged wire there, then call in an electrician if you
can't handle the repair yourself. I'm no code mavin, but it might be
possible to make a legal splice of a damaged wire without having to pull
a whole new length by installing a box in the wall with a cover on it,
and that box could be hidden behind a picture.
As long as there's enough slack in the cable to pull it into the box, while
leaving enough to make splices there, that's certainly Code-compliant. The big
question is whether there's enough slack in the cable... and it's likely there
is *not*.
