do you know if anyone has opened the device before you? if not I wouldn’t worry too much about it as i have seen many boards with pads for capacitors and resistors that simply were not used. possible a different model had a feature that utilized those spots but instead of producing two entirely different boards the simply left off the un-needed parts. it would be odd for someone to remove the caps and just leave it like that. there seem to be several spaces empty on that board for resistors and caps alike. see if you can find any info on their intended function maybe try to find the board schematic to shed some light on certain parts and their role in the overall workings of the board?

I work for a small electronics repair company ( http://www.yeswedofix.com )and while I wish it was as simple as replacing a missing part the actual solution nearly always comes from some existing pat not doing their job. follow the traces and check voltage values where you can and you will find your answers . hope this helps
