Chris, in the server PSU, you detected an out-of-range 5vSB line and a bulged capacitor. Yet, nowhere-- at least, not in the sequence of your diagnosis-- do you indicate that you actually replaced the bulging capacitor.

Quite properly, you lubricated the fan, since a fan failure invites equipment overheating and failure, but the capacitor remains a problem

You also did not explain whether an out-0f-range 5vSB line can be expected to cause further failures-to-start with the server.

Ok folks, if you can read this comment than you have lucky, because Mr. Jesting was shared the whole source of a similar ESR meter as I build years ago and I use now days too.
Here on this link you can get all the stuff you need to build the ESR meter like mine, it is not the 100% same but very similar.
Good luck on building and let as know about the progress. 🙂
