Is there a simple way to find shorted caps
in-circuit? Would an absolutely 0
ohm resistance while in-circuit indicate a shorted cap for the reason I
suggest above?
There's no simple way, it's easier just ot desolder at least one end and
test them effectively out-of-circuit.
The fact that you've found something that's shorted that shouldn't be is
a clue I think. What does that capacitor connect to (it may be easier to
trace this o nthe good PCB where the 2 ends don't test as being shorted
together).
