ABIT-WX6 Died can it be resurrected?

[Jamrock]

Hello to you guys here, I have a ABIT-WX6 Mainboard that failed to start so I had it replaced and put it in storage. I happen to come across this site I read some things there about bad caps and how to indentify them so I went and look for my abit-wx6 and inspect it I found five bad caps labeled 1000uf, 6.3 volts so I am now wondering if those caps can prevent the mainboard from starting I checked our local electronics shop here in Jamaica for replacements but they only have 1000uf, 10 volts caps (TWDC) in stock. So I am asking should I replace the caps with the 1000uf 10volts? when I do replaced them I hope the board will come back to life.

The 10v caps will be fine, but make sure they're rated 105*c, and are low ESR caps. Bad caps are the most common cause of mobo failure that I've seen.
