I understand, but, from my experience it's a 100% proven cause on 4 SB3
that had this symptom (I saved 3 but on one I stupidly damaged was the
CPU, but I still fixed the MB and verified it). One tip: because
removing capacitor can be done using the "twisting method", it takes
literally 5 minutes to remove them. I think you likely can take a pass
on the 63V which is for the VFD, then you can replace the set close to
the DC/DC, then the set close to the DAC if it still does not work. I
use solder paste, put the capacitors back one by one, hold them with a
plier, solder one leg pretty hot (300°C) to make it quick and handle the
thermal capacity of the ground plane connected ones, then move to next
one. Each capacitor is a 2 minutes job, so it's 1 hour in total. You
might easily spend more time in investigation, unfortunately
