Just desolder them and use a decent LCR meter to measure them.
Who told you that it is necessary to remove capacitors? In 99%of cases, no.
Nobody, if you know something about electronics you know why not to measure in situ. The point is that it often is possible but it can be way off so you simply can not trust the readings. It a sort of Russian roulette.
- Without analysing the schematic you do not know if there are parts parallel that can make a cap with sky high ESR look good. And that alone is reason enough !!
- A 100 kHz squarewave can have frequency components upto 1 MHz. So inductive components like traces, inductors, resistors can polute the readings and skin effects start to play a role.
- the biggest problem for ESR in or out circuit is that you do not know what the measured value is. ESR at 100 kHz is almost never stated in datasheets.
- The tables are miles apart from each other and often specially made for a meter (most ESR meter do not measure ESR but |Z| measured at 100 kHz so you can not use them for another meter.
- There is no low ESR. Nowhere is stated when the ESR is low in absolute numbers. A low ESR cap from brand A can be twice as high as a low ESR cap from brand B.
But you are the specialist
I just measured a few 470 uF 25V capacitor. I measured 0.182 ohm and 0.223 ohm in situ and the same were 0.115 ohm and 0.205 out of the circuit. I used a IET LCR meter, one from Hameg and my own designed ESR meter. Calibrated with ESI standard resistors.
ps: I do not consider a ledbar ESR indicator from BK as professional gear.
