i think it is those caps but no one round here can fix this stuff any more and only a basic multi meter.

Discharge them before soldering. Or wait several hours after switching off. Test for any remaining charge using the multimeter. Might be an idea to open a thread in the technical discussion section, for the soldering experts.
Wear a covid n95 mask while soldering. Horrible stuff, lead. Melts really fast and flows great though. Solder in a well ventilated area. Tin the tip of the iron, there are Youtube videos which show you how - just keep piling on solder, wiping with wire wool, plunging it into cheapo plumber's flux, melting on solder etc. over and over again until the iron's tip is completely covered with a lovely shiny silvery layer. Makes things so much easier. Also clean the tip with wire wool while soldering. Wait for things to cool down after each solder.

never used any solder to remove them just a bit of liquid flux and wicked it all off was done in 2 mins lol.
rang a few shops and all said no dont fix anything like this anymore, its renewable tech that you throw in the bin and buy a new one.

I also used this 1mm Weller leaded for the meeces, worked great, still working. Much easier:
