Capacitors and resistors are pretty easy to replace, though you do need to take care to drain capacitors before messing with them. They hold a bit of a charge for a while.
You can find out about this stuff online.
I mean, I'm not an expert, so proceed at your own risk, but I've so far saved a pair of studio monitors and a Peavey Classic 20 by swapping out a single, super cheap capacitor.
