I had an OM4-Ti with a similar fault. Every so often it would the beeper
would sound continuously.
I took the bottom cover off just to have a look if I could see anything
wrong. I found a screw that was a little loose and since tightening it I
have never had the problem again. The screw was on the end of a black
wire. I'm sorry my description is not very good. I'm still find it
difficult to believe I managed to fix it since I had no idea what I was
looking for.
