fried - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  fried
  
     1. <hardware> Non-working due to hardware failure; burnt out.
     Especially used of hardware brought down by a "power glitch"
     (see glitch), drop-outs, a short, or some other electrical
     event.  (Sometimes this literally happens to electronic
     circuits!  In particular, resistors can burn out and
     transformers can melt down, emitting noxious smoke - see
     friode, SED and LER.  However, this term is also used
     metaphorically.)  Compare frotzed.
  
     2. <jargon> Of people, exhausted.  Said particularly of those
     who continue to work in such a state.  Often used as an
     explanation or excuse.  "Yeah, I know that fix destroyed the
     file system, but I was fried when I put it in."  Especially
     common in conjunction with "brain": "My brain is fried today,
     I'm very short on sleep."
