And so, when we say &quot;<i>permanently destroy</i>&quot; do we really mean that something is &quot;<i>destroyed</i>&quot; and so done with &quot;<i>permanence</i>&quot;?<p>This motherboard...

The motherboard won&#x27;t enter BIOS, upon pressing F10 at power on?<p>What is this... &quot;<i>bricking</i>&quot; we speak of, here?
