Dan,  

I don't think the video would be any more likely than another component.
One last off-the-wall idea:  Maybe you could record the sound and convert
to .wav or .mp3 file for us to listen to it?

Without somewhat specialized equipment, it won't be easy to identify the
bad capacitor.... Unless it was an electrolytic and had a polarity
reversal.  It would look like it was swollen, or the top would be split.

That's the only thing I haven't disconnected besides the CPU.
