Refimprove date November 2008 wiktionary When used in reference to consumer electronics , brick describes a device that cannot function in any capacity such as a device with damaged firmware . This usage derives from the fact that some electronic devices and their detachable power supply power supplies are vaguely brick shaped, and so those which do not function are useful only as brick actual bricks . The term can also be used as a verb. For example, I bricked my digital audio player MP3 player when I tried to modify its firmware. ref http www.catb.org jargon html B brick.html CATB.ORG Jargon File ref In the strictest sense of the term, bricking must imply that software error has rendered the device completely unrecoverable without some hardware replacement. However, it is common to use the term for a problem which can be rectified but only by a complex and difficult procedure, often requiring additional software and hardware. Cause and Prevention Bricking a device is usually an unwanted consequence of an attempt to update the device. Many devices have an update procedure which must not be interrupted if interrupted by a power failure, user intervention, or any other reason the existing firmware may be partially overwritten and unusable. The risk of corruption can be minimized by taking all possible precautions against interruption. Installing incorrect firmware can also brick a device, e.g., installing firmware for a different revision of the hardware, or installing firmware incompetently patched by certain developers to get around restrictions imposed by official firmware, such as DVD firmware which only plays DVDs sold in a particular region. Most updating software makes all possible checks that firmware is valid for the device, but this cannot be relied upon. Devices can also be bricked by malware malicious software , and sometimes by running software not intentionally ... reflist DEFAULTSORT BrickElectronics Category Computer jargon ... more details
