That is exactly what I was going to suggest, replace the lot - but pay
particular attention to the two high voltage capacitors that form the
mains input voltage doubler.

Make sure that the capacitors you use as replacements are correctly
rated. The ripple current rating and working temperature are as
important as the working voltage and capacitance.
