Thank you for all your advice, I realize I need a new detector, however, the problem is, I can't get it off the wall, nothing I do works. I even tried pulling the white plug out with pliers, it won't budge. I'm afraid of pulling it too hard and pulling the wires out of the plug. Is there a trick to it? I tried pushing on the side to see if there is a release, nothing.
Does this require an electrician or is it just replacing the cover that perhaps I can hire a handyman to do, or do I have to do something to all the wiring inside there. Frankly, I'm afraid to touch it myself since the plug won't just pull out easily.
