Brick (electronics)

A brick (or bricked device) is a mobile device, game console, router, computer or other electronic device that is no longer functional due to corrupted firmware, a hardware problem, or other damage. The term analogizes the device to a brick's modern technological usefulness.

Not to be confused with early "brick" style mobile phones, the Canadian retailer The Brick or the building material Brick.
