Unfortunately, so many people use it incorrectly that you may as well assume that a phone reported as bricked isn't bricked till proven otherwise.
Some level of charging is a hardware function.
It will charge to ~3.7 volts slowly, using the inbuilt charger chips default settings.
And this will light up the charging LED a solid yellow.
This is totally independant of the CPU.
Though it automatically tries to boot when it hits a certain voltage.
