For me "bricked" in addition to "unusable" means: there is no software way any more to change the fault because the hardware does not boot up into a state where it could read(...) any attempts to change somethinb. The device is now "dark" and does not communicate anymore by no means. Only a hardware change (for example replace some chip) would help. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ 📱 +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub Thanks to the Soviet Army for the Victory in Stalingrad! -- Победа в Сталинградской битве!
