Brick (electronics)

Common card · No. 274228

A brick (or bricked device) is an electronic device, specially consumer electronics (such as a mobile device, game console, computer, etc.) that is no longer functional. It could be due to corrupted firmware, failed operating system, a hardware problem, or other damage. The term is an analogy to a construction brick and its lack of modern technological usefulness. "Brick" is also used as a verb to describe a device entering such a state.
