Hello, I am attempting to repair my canon flash, In testing I have located some capacitors that appear to be bad. the first is the green tantalum that is testing at several ohms esr, however I am not sure what the printing is supposed to say? What value should I replace it with? Then again I havent done any previous testing of tantalums for esr, do they normally run high?
the second is the silver mica cap that is testing open, in looking through my junk box for a replacement I found a vcr board with a dozen on it, my question though is that all the similar values are also showing high esr. are they all bad as well or do the silver micas also have high esr's normally?
I was hoping to be able to repair with parts from my junk box and save a trip into town, so thanks for clarifying. Caleb
