Personal experience agrees with replacing all caps. Look for corroded tracks from cap innards being leaked onto the PCB.

I took off the cover and removed the drives: both are SSDD, but one is a TEAC FD-54B and the other is a TEC, a brand which I had never seen before. In reading up on the DV I came across this posting: http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cbm/msd/REPAIRS/MSD.txt<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http:%2F%2Fpersonalpages.tds.net%2F~rcarlsen%2Fcbm%2Fmsd%2FREPAIRS%2FMSD.txt&data=02%7C01%7C%7C5af8503a27b84821c0e508d79db21a78%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637151260580797886&sdata=Eur%2BGFDj0gtbIXV74Ljl8S7YsodcmBEM6WbceYs5R9A%3D&reserved=0>. The writer, in reference to the TEC FB-501which is the primary drive in my unit, makes the claim that ALL electrolytic capacitors on these units WILL fail and MUST be replaced. I'm just wondering if the community has experience with this problem and can shed light on the subject. If it has to be I'll do it, just a question of priority. Thanks again, -CH-
