What does an upside down red triangle symbol on an electrical outlet mean? An electrician just put in some new outlets and I hadn't noticed until now. What does the symbol mean?

It means the outlet has an isolated ground - the ground pin is not connected to the frame as is true on most (cheaper units) but only to the grounding wire. Normally, these are used for hospital and computer/electronic sensitive equipment where varying resistance in the grounding can cause ground loops.

The upside down triangle means the outlet is an isolated ground. Isolated grounds are used for your computer equipment or anything that is super sensitive to interference on the ground.

it means that you have lost connection with the host of the match, there is not really anyway to fix it, only the host can really help on that. It basically means that the server you are trying to connect to is too far away, bad connection etc. and when you joint the match you are lagging alot.

You got me there... but mike1942f sounds confident. I would hold off for an electrician to answer
