I have seen shorted e-caps very often.
As technicians, we should be ready for anything.

When I do an ESR check of all e-caps on a PCB, if I see any e-cap with suspiciously LOW ESR, I immediately do a secondary check on that e-cap with my Ohm-Meter to determine whether the e-cap is shorted.

The ESR meter is an excellent tool, but it cannot diagnose all faults, and this is one one the faults which the ESR meter will give a CAP-OK result - in fact the cap is NOT OK.
