You're right, it's unlikely the earths will be the issue if everything else is fine. However, it's free to check if you've got a multimeter, so may as well be sure. 
Yeah as I said, it should still turn over at least. At the same time it's unusual for one to just die without warning, have you tried giving it a little encouragement (smack with a hammer a couple of times - solenoid can get stuck)?
