EDIT: changed the last two, there was a slight improvement but not much

That is interesting. Can you read the specifications of the transistors on the board? Mine is back in, so I can't. Since they are cheap, you could try that next. Use a heat sink while soldering, though, because they are very sensitive to soldering temperatures.

Also, there are more capacitors on the board (the "film" type). These are the square ones. I don't know if they could be the source of the problem...

Also, one last "duh" check: I realized I should have used the "μ" for the capacitor ratings, meaning 10^-6 (millionth) F. Is that what you installed? (I corrected my text)
