Is my carbon monoxide detector broken?

carbon monoxide detector kidde manual image

I have a Kidde carbon monoxide detector. It's pretty old (but not sure how old, I'm a student renting a house just for 8 months). In September it would beep all the time so I replaced the battery and it worked. Now though the green light doesn't come on. Before the green light was always steadily on. Now nothing. I've tested it and it seems to do what the manual should, but the green light isn't on. I've also replaced the battery again since September. Is it working or do I need to get a new one? Thanks for any help in advance.

Answer
It is probably time to replace the detector. They have more false alarms as they age. It is better to be safe than sorry. They don't cost that much.
