My Dewalt DC500 portable vacuum suddenly stopped working. It won't come on with battery power or AC power. I had just used it the day before with no problems. Any ideas what happened to it?

Vacuum works with the battery but does not work with 120 volt. Every time I plug it in it blows the internal fuse. I have replaced the fuse inside the vaccum several times and every time i plug it in it blows. What do you think it could be?
I had the same problem and traced it down to the on/off switch. I sprayed some electical contact cleaner down inside the switch and now it works normal. Hope this helps.
