capacitance and ESR for this capacitor?

[kgavionics]

Hi
Someone gave me away a 50inch plasma tv that doesn't turn on.i took it apart and i right away i noticed that there's two bulged caps 3300uF 100V.To be sure that the problem is coming from these caps i desoldered them and measured the capacitance and the ESR.
C was around 2750 uF for both ( which i found quite low even with 10% tolerance)
ESR was 0.13 ohm.
According to Esr table found on internet ESR should not exeed 0.1ohm for this type of capacitor.
My question: are these caps good or not?
thanks in advance

If they are venting gas they are dead. 

How did you measure the ESR?

thanx Andy
The only way to figure out if the capacitor is good is capacitance and ESR.
i measured ESR using a cheap Chinese component tester bought from ebay.

I think it's bad.

Hook it up to a DC power supply and charge the capacitor.  Does it draw current?  Make sure the polarity is correct.

I'd order some new ones. Bulging caps are so often the problem that it's worth a couple of dollars to replace them. I've fixed a few things this way.

you  had better to test The capacitor with a LCR Bridge  .

If It had gas leakage out before ,It must be bad now ,do not trust    the result of chinese tester.It just a toy
