Three pin reset

Term used to describe turning something on and off at the mains. Especially useful if you are an engineer and want to 'big up' your work when you have fixed a computer system or router etc.

Differs from a Two pin reset which is to turn a battery operated object on and off (like a mobile phone)

I've performed a three pin reset on your 'wireless router' sir, which seems to have cured the problem.

Your friend rings up with a problem on his PC and you recommend they do a 3 pin reset.
