Re: Dell 1901fp
If you didn't check ESR and uF then you don't actually know if the old caps were bad or not.
Those can be out of spec independently of each other and you can't tell by looking.
Make sure you push the lead tips firmly into the solder or test point when you measure.
- Especially on solder and component leads.
There is usually a coating [conformal coating] you have to get through to get a good reading.
That might be why your readings keep changing.
