I bricked my wireless mouse the other day. Accidentally pulled the USB dongle receiver out of my computer when I thought I was pulling out my micro thumbdrive, they’re about the same size and same color.
Long story short, the mouse stopped working. Completely bricked until I realized my mistake and plugged the receiver back in.

Then it’s not a brick, it’s just turned off.
Bricked is permanently broken, will never work again, kaput, paper weighted, pet-rocked, like a brick. You can’t get a brick to POST.
The whole point of the term bricked is to denote permanence.
