However, if they are dry (which is possible) they will not re-form, and no matter how you apply the power they will simply blow the fuses. The large ones in the power supply are normally replaced when people go inside. But, OTOH, the A77 that I got powered up perfectly well and has been working since then, and that doesn't seem to be an unusual behavior. I only replaced the dreaded RIFA caps and the caps on the plug in boards.
The RIFA's you should just go ahead and replace before even applying the power, as they produce mess when they fail.
