Etherdock help?

I got a ether dock that is broken. I'm pretty sure it hadn't been used in years before I got it. I tried to use it once with the floppy drive, but it gave an error and some popping sounds. It might've been the duo I was using because I tried the floppy drive with another computer and it worked alright. But anyways, I'm pretty sure the ether dock just needs a recap. It smelled like fish every time after I used it, which I've heard could be a sign of dead caps but idk. 

PS: does anyone know if the external floppy drive for those duo units uses ZIF in the drive? I got a cheap zif to cf adapter that I planned on using in my iPod Video but it didn't work. So now I kinda need a new use for it.
