[QUOTE="binky, post: 415190, member: 490"] if the battey is 5+ years old then it has probably died/ dying by now, they generally need replacing in the 5-7 year mark. The front will probably go off sometime later today. Oddly enough the dummy boxes tend to have more flashing LEDs than the real ones. Its should be a 12v system, so any electrican or local handyman could help (friendly neighbour?) Usually 1 bid screw holds cover on. When you emove cover the bell should sound (hence ear defenders are useful) sounder is normally attached to cover so a few quick snips of the wires will shut it up. You can do the same on the internal panel. This will then allow you to re-power the system and keep the boxes looking live. If you can't get anyone today, then that might be a good idea to stop the external box from going off. [/QUOTE]
