DC08 motor gone??

I used my DC08 to vacuum the vacuum bag last night, apparently I turned on the vacuum too long and I smelled a burning smell, then I turned the DC08 off. When I turned on the DC08 this morning, it still has the horrible burning smell and within few seconds, it stopped working, it's dead. Is the motor gone? would change the motor solve the problem?

    The problem is likely to be the motor. Dismantle and examine for signs of burning on the armature from worn brushes.
