What do you mean you "tried fixing capacitors"? 9/10 times that will do more damage then it's worth unless you have a professional soldering station with a very fine point iron.
Best way to find out if it's the PSU is to borrow a good one from another computer and test with that.
How does the light blink? Just constant flashing or a few quick flashes then turn off?
