Sorry, i meant to originallyHow about a picture? My wild guess is 240pF.
The 5U looks like possibly a dielectric type, the number would be 2, 4 and followed by a single zero - the K would be a tolerance code.View attachment 141363 Round and green and shiny.

241 K
5U and what looks like a copyright symbol. C with an SA or SR inside it. I got a bunch of them from a scrap board.
Thanks.
Varistors have a habit of shattering when they fail.If it reads zero ohms then it is duff whether it is a capacitor or varistor.
My vote is on varistor. The picture does not look like a cap.View attachment 141363 Round and green and shiny.

Just curious and will use it if called for and if I knew what it is.My vote is on varistor. The picture does not look like a cap.
Big question. Why do you need to know?
Is it to repair something or are you just curious?

Two different meters read 0.0 not infinite as touching probes. Same as probes not touching. Where it came from is a mystery. I'm gonna trash them but they sure are prettyWhat does '00' reading means to you ? Can be 'infinite' on your meter. Same as if the ohmmeter with probes touching or with probes not touching ?
The voltage is '241' = 240Volts. Abundant canibalizable from nearly ALL 240V power supplies input circuits.
The reversed R in RU is the current logo for 'Underwriters Laboratories'
At least C1 if not also c2 and C3 here :
If varistor, as 'MOV' here :
Which is :
Or this :
