What do you get if you check AC volts across that capacitor? If the capacitor is shot the display will flicker. |
| Electro_Jr:
Capicator C523 shows 0.01-0.009V measured in AC Capicator C522 I checked it for comparison and because it was right beside C523 didn't show any voltage. |
| Electro_Jr:
I'll add that both capacitors are 0.1uf Ceramic. If it matters. |
| james_s:
Oh, I assumed we were talking electrolytic capacitors, ceramic caps almost never fail. |
| Electro_Jr:
How would a bad capacitor show up? For example on the one in question, I tested it across it in AC mode with a multimeter. If it were bad what readings would I see? |
