We used to do tons of 8mm and mini DV (mostly Sony) that needed dozens of these changed on a board the size of a deck of cards.

I opened it up. No discernable smell.

There's only 4 caps on the back of the screen, 2 are larger SMD's so at least I can change them. Fingers crossed that that's the fix. The main board has a bunch of regular caps but almost a dozen tiny SMD's that I would have zero idea how to go about changing.

I guess we'll see...
