Just digging up an old comment here but if your 1200 hasn't been recapped already then please get it done asap.
Doing it yourself is another matter. You need either a hot air rework station or a pair of soldering tweezers to get the old caps off. Also you'll need a roll of high temperature masking tape and some flux to help the new solder flow. Several of SMD caps are extremely difficult to get to just because the space around them is so restricted like those around the keyboard connector. I suppose what I'd say is if you haven't done it before then your A1200 maybe isn't the platform to try first. My first recap was an old Sega Game Gear. That's a good system to cut your teeth on.
