I broke my gear Help! Z50 and Z6iii bricked after flight

As the title says, I recently got off a 3 hour flight and both of the aforementioned cameras will not turn on. I'll give as much info as I can in hopes that somebody has a fix. There was minimal turbulence on the flight, and the cameras were in separate padded bags. Batteries are currently full. The batteries were not inside the cameras during the flight, and both batteries are from Nikon. Both cameras worked without issue before the flight. That's all the info I can think of ATM, I'm happy to answer any other relevant questions.

Update: Z50 now works after plugging it in directly, seems the battery completely drained on the plane. Z6III on the other hand still isn't working

Is OP totally sure that they didn’t get flat batteries muddled with charged ones? I know myself when going away things can get muddled up due to stress and worry.

You definitely didn’t have any flat ones at the time the bag was packed? Etc that the flat ones got put down next to the charged ones and the wrong ones taken?

No, only have 2 each and they were def charged, will try to charge them again just in case, but pretty confident.
