It sounds like it's beyond repair then. If it's run too long with bad
caps it will damage other parts on the motherboard. Unless it's
something obvious like an overheated resistor, there's no practical
way to fix it.

There's still hope, check the voltage regulator sections, if you look up a
datasheet of the regulator chip you should be able to find a reference
schematic which will likely be very close to what's on the board. Not really
cost effective when you factor in time but if you like fixing things it
could be fun.
