I pulled the 2 ceramic capacitors off the remote control board and tested them. Both are .01uf 100V. The markings on them are AVX .01 Z 100V. When tested, one is 7.8 and the other 8.1. The new capacitors read 10.1 and 10.2. Is it safe to assume the Z on the OEMs means they have a tolerance of +80 and -20%? If that's the case, the OEMs are about 20% out of spec, but does that mean replacement was/is necessary? Is there some other test I can do on them?

I know the best thing is just to change them, but I'm trying to add to my knowledge and make sure I understand and am doing things correctly. That and I want to make sure it's fixed before reinstalling.
