conked out
Suddenly quit functioning
Conked out means stopped working or fell asleep suddenly.
Machines conk out when they fail: The engine conked out halfway home.
People conk out when exhaustion overtakes them: I conked out on the couch before the movie ended.
The phrase suggests abruptness—things don't gradually wind down, they just quit.
