I have been given an old PC to try and repair, a Compaq Presario 6207EA which uses an MSI MS-6541 motherboard. Several of the capacitors on the board are leaking and/or domed, and the system is unstable when loading windows. Unable to find a like replacement in the UK, can anyone give me any ideas for a suitable replacement 478 board?

Realistically, I'm not the most confident man with the soldering iron, and if the problem later occurs with other capacitors it will have been for nowt, I would be much happier finding a replacement board for it.
