David, I had the some problem about six months ago, and my sighted wife figured out what was wrong. My sawsall is variable speed and there is a dial near the trigger that goes from zero to about nine, and my wife told me somehow I had inadvertantly moved the dial to zero. When I tried to use the saw, it was totally dead. I also thought it was the brushes, but all it was, was that dial - it had to be off zero.
Hope your problem is as simple as mine was.
