Non-backlit portables are in even more dire need of being recapped than other models, because the HYBRID IC (bottom left of the board) is extremely sensitive to corrosion. The caps next to it have killed many of them, and they're not repairable.
Recently, Androda from androda.work has begun selling a recreated HYBRID, but you still want to avoid the expense if possible.
