Re: Help confusing components
The brown component is a capacitor and judging by its construction I'd say it's pretty reliable, but I have no personal experience of this make.
As a general, but not infallible, rule resistors are colour coded with their value whereas capacitors have their values written on them. The fact that the brown component has a voltage reading written on it indicates it's a capacitor. You wouldn't see that on a resistor.
