The symptom that indicates a dried out capacitor is that with fresh batteries when you just half depress the shutter button the leds will display the shutter speed that the meter suggests (in A mode). When you depress the shutter button all the way the leds go out and the shutter does not fire. It sounds to me that you do have a dried out capacitor indeed. This is pretty easy to fix if you know how to solder. You should search the archives for instructions. I think I still have a bag of capacitors for the X370 around, I can mail you one or two, let me know.
