konked out

Quit working abruptly

Konked out means fell asleep suddenly or stopped working.

A person who konked out collapsed into sleep, often from exhaustion: I konked out on the couch before the movie ended.

Machines and engines that konk out fail or break down: The car konked out on the highway.

Both senses suggest abrupt, unplanned cessation.
