Some folks wholesale change all caps on those boards.
I advise against that. The probability of damaging the board is way too high for most hobbyists.
The only cap that really matters is C5 on the WPC-089 power/driver board, and perhaps, someday, the equivalent cap on the WPC-95 power/driver board.
C2 (leaks) and C4 (can cause resets) are far more important than any other caps on those boards.
preDCS sound boards have 7x 47uf caps that are mostly dried out after all this time. Replacing them can marginally improve preDCS sound.
Testing for AC ripple is a good idea. It allows you to leave the cap in the board to test.
An ESR meter would be better but requires removal of the cap.
Yes, these big caps are used to smooth the various board DC voltages as rectified by the bridges.
Can a cap be absolutely indicted for a reset issue?
That might be tough.
Replacing a cap and then resets vanishing is only circumstantial evidence. PROVING that the cap was the issue would be nearly impossible. You'd have to remove and replace the cap "in-situ", which isn't possible.
I authored part of the discussion linked below. Enjoy.
