Dewalt 54v cordless grinder

[motrac3a]

I bought a Dewalt 54v XR cordless grinder 2 years ago, excellent tool and has had quite a bit of use.
However today when I squeezed the trigger nothing happened. I found if I spun the disc then squeezed the trigger it would start and run ok. After a while it would only run for a couple of seconds then stop, so now everytime I squeeze the trigger it only runs for a second or two then stops. Anyone out there have any ideas?

I would think the cost of repairs will be as much as a new grinder
