Everything about Hardware bug
Engineering flaw in a manufactured device
A hardware bug is a bug in computer hardware. It is the hardware counterpart of software bug, a defect in software. A bug is different from a glitch which describes an undesirable behavior as more quick, transient and repeated than constant, and different from a quirk which is a behavior that may be considered useful even though not intentionally designed.
