Sometimes, bad caps can start working again if you let them warm up a bit. Its not a fix, but if it works, its 100% capacitors that are at fault.
My bet is that the two through-hole caps are at fault. They are mounted the wrong way on the motherboard and every single CD32 I've ever opened have had them bulging and leaking. I would for sure send it off, in either case, to someone that offered to have a look at it for you. I would not even open it yourself if you are inexperienced as there are two (fragile) ribbon cables that needs to be disconnected to separate the top part from the bottom.

Thanks Turran - ill give that a go tonight.
Failing that then certainly think the caps are maybe worth a go at least - ive already opened it actually and whilst I wouldn't say the ones in question are obviously leaking or anything they do certainly seem to be on the wrong way round from my understanding.
