Digital chips consume almost all their power in brief bursts during clock transitions, which cause voltage overshoots and undershoots that can be great enough to electrically damage the chips.
A 10-watt soldering iron can attach a new capacitor array, after the old solder is cleaned off using rosin flux and very fine desoldering braid. A heat gun at its lower temperature setting will also work for soldering, but cover the other components with 2 layers of aluminum foil.
