In my computer hobby, "bricked" has typically meant that the device has been rendered in a non-functional state. This term is used even if the device might be salvageable, but typically it will take expert knowledge or significant bother to get it working again. That is indeed the case here.

No chips were "bricked". "Bricked" implies that the chip will no longer function, period. They can be restored and there are videos appearing that show how to do it.
