From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  fried adj. 1. [common] 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. [common] 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." Esp. common in
     conjunction with `brain': "My brain is fried today, I'm very short on
     sleep."
