Does it still think it's a diode when connectors are reversed :)

It does, but I think my tester is smart enough to work out polarity and doesn't care which way the clips are connected.

That is a really cool failure for a capacitor

I've got one of those testers and while from time-to-time it is useful, I often have to take its readings with a pinch of salt lol. Also whenever I go to use the bloody thing it's flat and needs charging.

Got to say mine has been pretty reliable, though there are many suppliers, so mileage may vary!!
