Caps ? Caps? and did someone say caps ? The classics both I and II have had the worst leaky caps I have ever seen. I wonder its from years of use or sitting I am not sure but every classic I have seen now the motherboard looks like a jelly sandwhich. My color classics are bad but the tighter space with more directed airflow leads me to believe they had possibly better cooling in comparison.

Good Luck on getting it fixed straight away.
