Brick

[simplicity05]

Brick is the slang term for an electronic device which cannot function (or has been rendered useless by damaged firmware). This comes from the fact that the device in question can be considered only as useful as a brick, and little else. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick...

It should be added that if you can fix the device (by reflashing it or whatever), then it's not truly bricked.
