On the other hand, 80% and high ESR could cause something to fail if the ESR is high enough. You can imagine ESR as adding a resistor in the circuit across the capacitor, which will throw things off by creating voltage dividers and stuff.
Long story short, check ESR if you're troubleshooting. Capacitance is only telling you part of the story.

I have been checking ESR as well as value. The one I removed had an ESR of 540 milliohms with a 100K frequency.
