Most likely you will need to replace the smoke detector. I've experienced the same problem and that was the only solution. My house is only 6 years old, and I have already replaced three of the detectors. Life expectancy isn't always as long as one would like.
If it has a short you may need to replace it.
I was told to unplug it check your fuse box /circuit breaker then plug back in
hope this helps
All smoke detectors have a battery back up in case of power failure more likely the battery needs replaced if this isn't the case then replace the detector.
I had a problem like this and I changed the battery and it still beeped. I found out that with my smoke detectors after you change the battery, you need to press and hold the reset button. I found this out by doing an internet search on the brand of detector I had, and they had a manual online for it.
Sounds like you need to change the back up battery. I know, I had the same problem, I thought that because they were hard wired they didn't have batteries....wrong !!...they do
Also , check for spiders. At this time of year spiders come into the house and, it seems that the smoke alarm is a perfect hidy-hole for them...and then they trigger the bleeping
