Then it's not a brick.
Why is the term "bricked" in the first place?
Because of the utterly dead properties of a brick. The whole point was a visceral image of just how not remotely recoverable under any circumstances, vs merely a little extra effort can recover.
An unformatted empty computer with no os is not a brick in the same way a cd player with no cd inserted is not a brick. It's still fully functional.
Okay, fine, but you're replying in the wrong spot. The point being made here is the difference between broken and locked, regardless of whether it's a little broken or very broken.
