Word of the Day

bricked
To render your computer useless, as useless as a brick. Usually the result of tampering with the insides and doing irreversible damage. Bricking your hardware leaves you with a new paperweight. Can be the end effect of a faulty flash or [firmware] update, a [modification] (mod) gone bad or being struck by lighting, to name a few.

He managed to get his new iMac bricked while trying to boot WinXP on it.

I tried to change graphics cards while my computer was running but I only managed to get my machine bricked.
