Dead capacitors are not causing AC hum, they are causing high-frequency hiss
because the high frequencies of the switching powersupply in your machine
isn't filtered any more. (One of the problems I am facing here with my diy amp
using an old PC PSU while trying to not use capacitors for filtering.)
