the kids got to hear static and the high pitched whine, but it now is just furniture for a center speaker.
I’ll try to get it fixed eventually!

what do i do now? heck i haven’t done any electronic soldering or anything like that
Be careful when opening up , these capacitors when loaded can be fatal when touching.
Not to worry you too much but learn a thing or two about before going in.
You need to find someone who knows how to solder and replace capacitors.
They will remove the PCB, inspect it for any damage, remove the old capacitors, and install new ones.
If the old ones leaked, there’s a chance they could have damaged the board. Fortunately, that sort of damage is usually fixable.
And don’t feel bad. That’s a pretty common issue with older hardware. Most folks don’t realize that some of the electronic components go bad over time and need replacing or maintenance.
