I currently have a LCD projector in which I believe the convergence circutry
is messing up. Since this unit has quite a few electrolytic caps in it, I
think theres a good possiblilty that there could be a few that are bad.
Unfortunately my ESR metere is 2,000 miles away. Ive considered buying
another meter since it would be nice to have, but is there any good way to
check these things without a meter? I have a DMM and a soldering iorn here.
thats about it. They are all small SMD caps which fortunately I think I can
get locally here.. I could probably replace all of the caps cheapr than
buying another meter, but that is a pain.

I would think you some kind of signal generator aside from ststic tests.
I get better reading from an analog meter on charging caps.
