iMac G5 not booting

Same issue as Wordman post "Boot problem with iMac G5". Additionally, I can Safe Boot and run disk utility and repair permissions, boot to target disk mode and boot to single user mode. I have run fsck with various switches but still cannot boot regularly. Running 10.4.11 and have tried all reinstalls from CD and dmg with no success.

Same issues here

Same issues here. Have installed 10.5.8 hoping it would fix things but no.

Can only boot (slowly) into safe mode.

Have also lost Audio IO.

When swapping out the RAM I noticed a bulging capacitor. Oh joy!

I wonder if it's worth pulling out the soldering iron? Has anybody replace one of these caps?
