I have a similar problem with a classic the sound is very quiet various startup problems got worse especially if the machine had been on a while I couldn't turn it off and then on again without seeing the remnants of what was last on screen still there but with random corruptions, I would have to leave the machine off for ages before I could restart it and also the Serial ports eventually gave in. It is certainly a logic board problem as a new board solved all the issues, what would be useful is a way to test the capacitors to see which ones are the problem, does anyone know what electrical properties the faulty capacitors exhibit? > >I have no idea on the sound issue we share, though.
