How to measure a capacitor "on a circuit board" without removing it with a standard multimeter or with a capacitance meter.
The intent of this video is to help a non-technical person to quickly identify a bad capacitor in a circuit without having to own very specialized electronic test equipment. And then show them how easily they themselves can replace it.
