Thank you for the tip!
I will give it a try when I get some free time. Hopefully it's not as hard as I think!
If I determine that I do have bad capacitors (and the symptoms do seem to suggest that as a possible cause), how do I go about replacing them? To clarify, we're talking about the big power capacitors, not the little ones on the logic board, right?

p.s. Jeez!! Capacitors are failing all over the place these days! Power supplies... logic boards... Where will it end?!
