If the board has tantalum caps now it's probably a good idea to replace them with electrolytic (of equal or greater working voltage). You can replace a polarized cap with a non-polarized one (but you should be careful if you want to replace a non-polarized capacitor with a polarized one). Other capacitors may need replacement but the ones on the power supply are generally the best candidates (though if you haven't yet diagnosed the problem with the power board, replacing the caps might not do much).
