My DA sander locked up halfway through a C-pillar repair

I was about 3 hours into a tricky repair on a 2018 Accord yesterday, blending the C-pillar after a dent pull, when my Mirka sander just seized up mid-sand. The bearings or something in the head totally gave out, and I had to switch to a $40 backup from Harbor Freight to finish the job. Has anyone else had their DA just die on them like that, and did you try fixing it or just buy a new one?

Agreeing with @brian328 here, I used to ignore moisture problems until a dead sander changed my mind.

Check your air hose for water, that kills bearings FAST.

Yeah, water in the lines is the worst.
