Question Laptop motherboard problem / Replacnig capacitors

Hi everyone,

I encountered some problems with my HP nc8000 laptop:

When I switch it on, the characters are cuorrupt: e.g. instead of 'Windows' there would be 'Wondows'. The corrupt characters appear in different places of the screen when pressing buttons (or in Bios) and random colour squares appear in random places when pressing keyboard's buttons.
The screen looks very similar like written here:
Artefacts during POST, Windows + games. - Graphics-Cards - Graphic-Displays , or
SEVERE hardware fault on M3438G ... Purchased a M3438G in September 2005 from new, so I've had it little over a year. It has been working fine up until two days ...

Since the vga is an onboard one, I'm almost sure that's a motherboard.

I took my laptop apart to see the motherboard. I'm pretty sure this is happening because of bad (leaked) capacitors, as I already encountered the same problem on my desktop computer - replaced 6 capacitors and it works fine again!

The thing is, that I can't see anything leaked there, because the capacitors are rather small.

Which ones should I replace??

Here is my motherboard:
Imageshack - dsc02272
Imageshack - dsc02272
Imageshack - dsc02274
Imageshack - dsc02275b
Imageshack - dsc02276
Imageshack - dsc02277
Imageshack - dsc02278s
Imageshack - dsc02279f

Need advice, thanks in advance.
