You can't see it in that picture, but in the corner of that board there is a transformer for the CCFL inverter. Check the posts for cold solder joints. If that's not your problem, it will be eventually. I used to work on that model all the time, and when those solder joints fail, it will arc so bad, some times the board catches fire. I saw badly burned boards several times in that model and the 7603.

It's been a few years since I have worked on one, but I don't remember those big caps being a problem. Those plastic discs appear to bulge sometimes, but the caps themselves aren't bulged underneath. You can take that plastic disc off the top of the cap and look without hurting anything.

I know the Philips/Magnavox of that era did have bad caps, but it usually wasn't the big ones. It was usually the 1000uf, 2200uf, 220uf, etc, medium-sized ones.
