What!!!!
This has been "conquered" long ago, it is only a capacitor that fails
(C28 from memory, 100uf @ 50V I think), once you have removed the PSU
it is a 5 minute job to replace it and have your dock working like
new.
NB try to replace it with a low ESR capacitor rated at 105 deg C for a
longer life.
Ben.
(also if you check the archives you will find full details of this
standard repair.)
