In my case (probably also in yours since SMD ceramic capacitors often go short when they die) the capacitor was the cause and not the syndrome. Voltages were OK on mine and the system worked with the amp board disconnected.
It did also work with the burned capacitor removed. Looks like the caps only have some high frequency filtering purposes. [br]
Unfortunately I was unable to get the correct size and shape so I had to touch the neighboring cap with the replacement ceramic capacitor. No problem in this case because C3108 are C3109 are connected in series anyway.

System is fully usable again! Possibly as well as just with the faulty cap removed and cleaned up, but the caps are cheap and available so I highly recommend to replace. Be careful to use types that are capable of standing 100 V.
