I did pretty much what you say last night. All the caps

caps. Was considering putting the board back in after having done some light
reforming on them (ie not for more than a couple of minutes each), in case
they just needed reforming.
Since you're drawing practically no current, it seems like sticking a
few 9V batteries in series with your bench supply would be an easy way
to be absolutely sure.
