I haven't heard of that happening to anyone before.  I've been using the same Pi5s since they came out, thought I'd killed one once (wasn't running ARpiCADE or a RaspberryJAMMA at the time) but reflashing the firmware got it working again.

What actually happened?  Is there any sign of life in the Pi5s LEDS when it gets power?  Usually they will blink diagnostic codes using the LEDs for you when they have an issue (maybe not if completely dead). 

The power to the Pi is fused on the RaspberryJAMMA board (and the fuse is very conservatively rated for a Pi5), hopefully no real damage has been done to your Pi5(s).

I thought it was the SDCARD but if I take it out and put it in a new pi5 or my old pi4 it instantly starts working again. When the pi5 fails it seems like its rebooting over and over real fast. Make my sharp xm200 blink crazy. Im writing a new sdcard now to try the pi5 out of the cab.

Edit: It did work with a different sd card and booted. Guess maybe a test in my cab later today after I save my high scores.
