If you're so inclined and know how to solder, I think you could replace those capacitors. The parts are probably $7-12 total. As other have alluded to, those capacitors are in the switching power supply circuits and are very important to maintaining the correct voltage levels and keeping the power 'clean.' Flaky power can cause corruption of data at the least and permanent damage to the components.
