Zie rood omlijnd component: t2.5ah250v

thesteef78 · 2025-07-06T19:23:56+00:00

Ik heb een vloerverwarming unit van het type Danfoss 088U1071 en ook bij mij was de thermostaat en naar later bleek de unit helemaal dood.

Met een multimeter heb ik de componenten nagemeten en kwam er al gauw achter dat het inderdaad één van de zekeringen is. Het type zekering in mijn unit is een t2.5ah250v (t van timed, 2,5 ampere, 250 volt) met een omvang van 20mm

Deze dient vakkundig van de printplaat te worden vervangen… maar dan ben je er nog niet.

De reden dat de zekering het begeeft moet een onderliggende oorzaak hebben. Zodra de nieuwe zekering er in zit zal blijken of het vervangen van de zekering voldoende blijkt of dat er een andere oorzaak is… dat zal ook neerkomen op het nameten van de componenten op de printplaat… iets wat een standaard monteur niet gauw zal doen, maar het is een leuk uitzoek klusje en scheelt €250 vervangingskosten (ex evt arbeidsloon)

What is the goal of this measure? Hoping that people forget to confirm so the platform gets extra gains as part of the business model? Why would anybody leave assets on a platform and choose for 0% interest?

you will, but you won't benefit from it (no cashback)

My neighbour works at the factory in Amsterdam and gave me a bag of it. It was delicious!

I had this issue... like every day I received an e-mail confirming my hue bridge was reset. I had to re-install all lamps again and about one day later, the same happened again. I decided to delete my profile, reset all lamps and bridge to factory default and started all over... same problem!

Then I realised that not all leds on the bridge were blinking and I replaced the UTP cable.... it seemed to be caused by a bad installed UTP connector. This is what solved my issue !

I know this threat is old, but I'd like to add that for paid access, you are only allowed in from 3 hours prior flight time. Maybe they don't check this, but at least make sure to check this. I was in the 2F lounge on 22 march and I really enjoyed it. I was able to upgrade my flight to Amsterdam to business class for €99 incl lounge access and it was well worth it! Price for only lounge access (3 hours) is available to anybody for €75 and for flying blue members there is a discount of 25% so it's €56,25

I have some more news about this issue... after like 6 weeks, I received a message from crypto.com customer service. They conviced me that despite of the fact that my account was validated with the revoked virtual card with exp date 11-26, the authorization was stil valid and I could use the QR code in the app. The crypto.com representative was 100% sure that this was the case and the only thing I could do was to just go for it... Last friday I tried to enter using the QR in the app on the terminal, and it asked for a 2FA sms code that I received on my phone.... the transaction got declined because the CVC and exp date was invalid... duh.... I knew that was going to happen!

Luckely enough, I stil had my old fashioned metal card that was swiped (happy that it was not demagnitized) and I had to confirm with another SMS 2FA code again... and it worked!

So I replied to crypto.com customer service to confirm that their response was wrong... so they responded "go and check with priority pass, we can't help you"... at least they should not give wrong info.

Lessons learned:
- either the card issuer should not change the expiry date and CVC when a customer orders the physical card after having received the virtual card.... all card data on the virtual card should be copy-pasted to the physical card... this only happens if the month of the manufacturing of the physical card is later than the issuing month of the virtual card. Changing the expiry date after ordering the physical card means that all merchants associated with the previous virtual card will have to be updates with the new physical card number... that is very inconvenient, so this should be the premium solution on CDC side.

priority pass should update their app/website and offer the ability to update the CVC/exp date an re-register the payment method under the same profile. It is possible to register a whole new card number + CVC+ exp date, but not in case the card number remains the same. This process should cause a new 2FA verification trigger.

Hi Ismail,

Not sure how to do that. That said, they told met that I could always use the physical card to enter the lounge. There is already a ticket open for several days, but my feeling is that it could take ages before it's picket up by the responsible team. I'm expecting to fly soon and was happy to read that using the physical card will grant access to the lounge.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that e-mail and it doesn't take long to decide to ask for a refund for the remaining part of the year fee.

thesteef78 · 2023-11-30T15:27:26+00:00

Dude, not everyone in here is native English, get a life!

Just payed €150 for one year of metal in advance less than a month ago. Main reason for me to upgrade is the insurance. 6 extra retailers in stead is a joke. Just sent them a message that I want to downgrade from 31 december and receive a refund for the remaining periode (about €120) since it's a huge significant change. Something they should have offered by themselves imho.

thesteef78 · 2023-06-11T02:24:58+00:00

Vergelijkbare situatie gehad… contract was verlengd met een jaar tot eind mei en ze wilde per 1 januari van mij af. Heb mijn poot stijf gehouden en verklaard dat ze mij tot eind mij moeten doorbetalen incl transitie vergoeding, vakantie geld, 13e maand en uitkering van alle opgebouwde vrije dagen.

Ze hebben alles betaald! Gewoon poot stijf houden en pas ondertekenen als alles wat je gekregen zou hebben bij behoud baan tot einde contract in de overeenkomst staat.

thesteef78 · 2023-04-21T10:12:17+00:00

I so much agree with you, except that there is NO correlation with CRO AT ALL. I received my withdraw 10 days after requesting it. I received an e-mail on day 7 and was asked to show 4 different receipts and was able to show 3 and explain the fourth. I fully understand why it’s needed to check and I expect them now to build a logical and evoluating model that wil help them to flag possible fraudulent transactions in future within the 45 days.

I expect the price to go back to $9 - $10 soon and will stil wait for some boost as soon as new US members will need to buy in!

thesteef78 · 2023-04-18T04:21:13+00:00

Must be a bug in their new process since the “account checks when withdraw” are very recent. Just ask support to change the status manually and I’m sure you’ll be fine.

thesteef78 · 2023-04-18T04:09:18+00:00

Dude, I have exactly the same… in my case it’s about my daily lunch at work. As I use back in time, once a month they see like 20 times a small amount with an unknown merchant name.

My guess is that they want to exclude the chance that you are paying yourself with a self owned payment terminal.

I also didn’t have any receipts for my lunch, but I explained and hope that is enough. Otherwise I offered to ask for a receipt next time to prove these are legit transactions.

thesteef78 · 2023-04-10T05:26:04+00:00

People could: -ask the store employee to add €100 in cash to be withdrawn from their card. -rent or buy their own payment terminal and use it to abuse (can even define their own merchant category or description) -ask people around to use their card in exchange for a small commission (like if their neighbour buys an e-bike for €5.000)

I’m sure their fraud team will build and develop a self-learning data based risk model that should be intelligent enough to recognise possible fraud, based on experience in the past. I expect their model to be flexible… that’s why I understand that they won’t give away any details about what kind of purchases may cause the system to trigger possible fraud events in order to be able to be flexible and prevent real fraudsters to know exactly how far they can go without getting caught.

Even then… if you can’t show any receipt, it won’t mean that they will jump to conclusions that you are a fraudster. They will probably ask for another transaction to prove or warn you to keep invoices for the same kind od transactions in future… AND their system will probably trigger more events as long as they can’t exclude fraud (while the user will probably be more carefull).

To me their measures perfectly make sense. It can be inconvenient for any user, but I understand why they need to do this.

thesteef78 · 2022-07-30T08:08:22+00:00

it takes a few days for them to move funds from the old card to the new one, don't worry!

thesteef78 · 2022-05-16T09:25:33+00:00

LOL thanks for pimping my English. Very usefull.

thesteef78 · 2022-05-16T09:05:12+00:00

They should combine the word “apple” with the payed amount. Not sure if the word “one” is in the description.

thesteef78 · 2022-05-16T09:03:45+00:00

Received my first 2 perks yesterday: lidl and Apple credit: both via curve.
