I've had luck in the past doing a saved search for a repair manual I couldn't find and waiting until it came up on ebay. In some case, it took like 10 years for that to happen, but others more like 1-3 years. I know that doesn't sound ideal, but if you can just stick it in a closet and use something else for now, it could be a future project. That's more or less how I do things when I get stuck.
Of course, there's been some good suggestions too, you could try checking the ESR on that cap and see if it's okay.
Also, reflowing the solder on the PCB will fix a surprising number of faults; old solder fails.
