Definitely check for any contact issues. Step 2 IMHO would be to replace all SMT caps before getting too carried away.

Hi Tinner,

Keep in mind, those caps often begin to leak long before there are visible signs. As the electrolyte is harmful to the pcb, replacing them now (while the board is still pristine) isn't a bad idea.

Anyhow, something to consider, if everything else checks out OK. Anthony Hoffman does excellent work and is reasonably priced.
