Now the caps are dry.
They'll stop functioning at some point, dry or not.

But if I would recap the board, it would again cover my board with acid resulting in more damages.
Only if you wait until the new ones start leaking :rolleyes: Won't happen for years if you have good ones.

Look, capacitors are an essential part of electronics. They have to be in good working condition. Replace them with capacitors from a good brand, and always replace them before they start leaking (seems so obvious).
