How ‘bricked’ is bricked one wonders...Hard to believe one has to pitch the machine... which is what ‘bricked’ used to mean... I doubt they're really in "Permanent Doorstop Mode" -- hopefully they just fail to boot, and can be booted from another device to clear and reload. The reported failure of a boot-from-USB doesn't sound good, though.

If I’m reading it correctly, the problem with the boot-from-USB isn’t the booting, it’s the non-availability of the ISO file.
