I was working on some of these today, part of a Panasonic VTR. The faulty ones all had leaking caps. I changed the five in a row (47mf) and the two near the connector (100mf). As long as the board hasn't been corroded by the electrolyte - all should be well. The duff caps will drag the 5V rail and sometimes blow the 500mA fuse.
