All of the sudden both of them dont work. I have 2 of them, and today me and my friend went to play it and it wouldnt power up. I tried another outlet and it still didnt work. I tried the other power cord, the other N64, and other outlets, and none of them worked. WTF? when I say "didnt work", I mean they won't power up. why did this happen? Did I do something to make it happen, or is this just coincidence? I know I didnt fry anything because nothing smells fried... this is so weird!!!

Check to see if the power adapters are giving off voltage.

Did you ever mod either?

So did everyone just forget that the N64 power adapter has a self-reseting circuit breaker that'll reset in ~24 hours? You must have had something messed up that tripped the breaker, but you fixed the problem which trying other stuff.
