Did you remove the brushes at any point? If you did it is possible that the brushes are installed correctly. The brushes have a tapered/dog eared side to them, this needs to be lined up within the mixer, if they are not lined up correctly the mixer will not turn on.

Was the speed control board cracked or was it the phase control board? If the bottom screw on the speed control plate is not adjusted correctly the mixer may not turn on as well.

If neither of those fixes the problem try the troubleshooting steps in the service manual. Here is a link to the service manual for the K5ss mixers. http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mendingshed/kitchenaidservicemanual.pdf

first check the motor brush and replace them with a new pair. if you never do that check youtube and see a video how to do it.

Try checking the brushes located on the side of the mixer ,theres one on each side under a black plastic screw make sure you remember how you took them out,put them back same place.

You may have to remove the Motor Housing and use a small screwdiver
to completely remove the brushes or all portions of them if they are broken.

Motor brushes are fairly cheap to buy. It sounds like the first place to start: http://kitchenaidmixerspares.co.uk/Home/tabid/36/ProductID/88/Default.aspx

With the head of the mixer upside down. Back end toward you. The right side brush should be with bevel or narrow side up. The left brush should be with bevel or narrow side down.

do not know the device specifically, but with brushes in general it should be fairly obvious by inspecting the alignment of the brush housing to the rotor to determine the proper orientation. perhaps use a flashlight to look into the brush housing and try to see how it meets the rotor? chances are the "point" of the brush would be in the same direction as rotation. it may also be helpful to try one orientation and turn the shaft slowly by hand to confirm the brush is smoothly contacting the rotor..
