    Right? Seems to me, this video might be useful if you already know what you're doing, which I don't. It's a well-put together video, but the information provided isn't useful for someone who knows nothing about the topic. I'll admit, this is my problem, but my ignorance is the reason I'm watching videos like this. In response to ToolBoom, something like this, "if you're testing a 25v 100 micro-farad capacitor, set your multimeter to _______ , connect the leads, and your reading should be _______ , because _______ is happening." Instead, we get, "Connect your leads and ______ is happening." Which, to me, knowing virtually nothing about electronics or how to use a multimeter, is essentially useless information.

    @@vintageretro83 Hello! The multimeters readings can be clearly seen in the video. As the capacitor is charged, its resistance increases. In the range of 20k you can see the resistance increases. High-capacity capacitors charge for a long time, so we set the continuity mode to not to delay the video. OL multimeter's readings indicate an increase in resistance. We wanted to show the basic principle of the testing procedure in the first place.

    Can someone help me out? Im working on a Behringer 1280s powered mixer board. This unit blows both 1.6ah 250v fuses as it is powered up. The (4) 2200uf 200v caps test good on my Kline mm700 meter for capacitance and my esr meter says good cap with low ESR. The (4) 4700uf 100v caps test good on the esr meter, but read O.L checking capacitance on the Kline. So I ordered (4) new 4700uf caps. They also read O.L on my Kline in capacitance mode. All these readings were taken out of circuit. Im thinking it might be the transistors, not the caps. But why am I getting no uf readings on the 4700uf caps? I actually have 2 mixing boards. Same situation with the 4700uf caps on the other board.

    I do not understand why we have to discharge the capacitor before measuring the voltage with the DMM. The whole point of DMM is to measure existing voltage. Just point it to 1000V scale if you have a 400V capacitor and measure the voltage. The DMM will not be destroyed. There is no reason to discharge anything.

    Every forum, video, tutorial says to make sure it's discharged. "This is very important because capacitors can hold the charge even if the power supply is disconnected. If the capacitor is not discharged properly and if you accidently touch the leads of the capacitor, it will discharge through your body and cause an electric shock."

Here in your lesson you did not have the courtesy to show the learners to what symbol or position in the multimeter one has to turn to to check the capacitor.

    It's sad when there's good content but doesn't get the recognition it deserves because of an illiterate audience. Thanks to you and your video, I diagnosed the failure on my sound card, after 3 months collecting dust and considered to be thrown. As I said in a comment below, he says that resistance will grow, and resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω), clearly the symbol on the multimeter. The scale depends on both your specific multimeter and the capacitor being measured. All this is not particularly advanced, but requires some basic knowledge, which you should already have if you're fiddling with a multimeter and caps. This video deserves less down votes.
