    I'm dealing with the same problem , and I know I have to replace the capacitors although they look perfect. so even if your capacitors doesn't seems to be blown, and you still experiencing with such problem , you will have to replace them.

    Take a good look at all the capacitors on the board, and the top surface should be nice and flat. If there are any that are slightly domed, then that's a sign that it could be starting to fail.
