I don't understand the problem. Pull out the motherboard and replace all the SM metal can electrolytic caps. There're only ten of them and only five of those are over in the power supply circuitry, though it's possible that the other five are involved in the power and just not near it. And there are three axial electrolytic caps you might wish to replace. All tolled, there's only 13 capacitors to replace even if you do them all.
