ok let's go through this again. Bricked means the device is now useless or a brick, it's only use will be a paperweight. Totally different from non-functional, removing the batteries will render a device non-functional.
In this case the device was blacklisted on the server side. For a device to be denied access it has to ask for access first which a bricked device would not be able to do.

- flukus 10y agoOk, that's a better definition. But it still fits for this device, to the owner it's no more than a brick because it's been remotely disabled.
