This may be solved by replacing the magnetic brushes. See: http://vitamixrepair.blogspot.com

Sounds like you need to send your blender in to be serviced. It most likely is burned out-- hopefully your blender is less than 7 years old!

The incomparable Vita-Mix 7-Year Limited Warranty will keep your machine running like-new for seven full years from the date of purchase. If your Vita-Mix machine is currently under warranty and you require service, simply call the Customer Service Department at 1-800-848-2649 for assistance.

I had he same problem. In some cases the magnetic brushes on the blender wear down. You can replace these burshes for as little as $15. I found the parts supplier in Northern California but fogot their name.

No start at power on

did you or do you smell anything when it tries are any lights coming on with the power off try to spin in manually (with a fork or something) if it wont move motor seized better going off to get another one. if it moves freely (no resistance) the drive gear snapped a problem with plastic parts.
some resistance is what it whold be normal i would then go and check bases make sure there is no switch to the out let plug something else in and see if it works.
