inoperable
Can't be fixed
Inoperable describes something that cannot be operated on or made to function.
In medicine, an inoperable tumor or condition is one that surgery cannot safely or effectively treat, usually because of its location, size, or the patient's overall health.
The cancer had spread too far and was deemed inoperable.
Outside medicine, inoperable applies to machines, systems, or plans that cannot work or be put into action: Budget cuts left the program inoperable.
