I'll try to get it fixed eventually!

    You need to find someone who knows how to solder and replace capacitors.

    They will remove the PCB, inspect it for any damage, remove the old capacitors, and install new ones.

    If the old ones leaked, there's a chance they could have damaged the board. Fortunately, that sort of damage is usually fixable.

    And don't feel bad. That's a pretty common issue with older hardware. Most folks don't realize that some of the electronic components go bad over time and need replacing or maintenance.
