Because it is a solid and the ions aren't free to move otherwise, i'm lead to believe it is due to that anyway, I would seek a second opinion
by changing it into a molten state I would guess
Because it has to be an ionic substance, either by being molten or by being in solution.
Lead and bromine
In Lead(II) bromide, a white powder, there are two elements in the chemical compound. Lead(II) bromide contains both lead and bromine particles and has the chemical formula PbBr2.
Lead bromide has an ionic bond.

after heating Lead Bromide, it becomes a molten which conducts electricity. so the answer is yes it does. lead bromide's an ionic bond. so, compared to the structure of an ionic bond, lead bromide does conduct electricity when molten. When molten or in an aqueous state, the ions become free to move and so it can carry electric charge around as well.
Lead(II) bromide is used because it melts at an unusually low temperature for an ionic compound (373 °C). Lead can be fairly safely handled afterwards (taking care to ensure that hands are washed after any contact with the metal). Bromine is a coloured acidic gas with a characteristic smell. Electrolysis is not possible with solid lead(II) bromide. This is because the ions are held in a three-dimensional lattice, unable to move freely to the electrodes. Melting enables the ions to become mobile and to travel to the respective electrodes. At the cathode (-) molten lead is formed: Pb2+(l) + 2e- → Pb(l) At the anode, gaseous bromine is evolved: 2Br-(l) → Br2(g) + 2e-
It's Lead (IV)Bromide We use roman numerals when it's a transition metal + nonmetal
lead nitrate + potassium bromide --> lead bromide + potassium nitrate
