DC05 Dyson just stopped working - any suggestions?

Is there any smell of burning? Great machines Dysons but the motors don't last for ever. In fact, Dyson claim to fix any vacuum cleaner for £50, irrespective of parts required (filters not included) which makes great sense as the motors are around £35 plus postage.

2 possibles (1) broken flex wire, usually close to the on/off switch or more likely(2) brushes in the motor worn out after 6 years
