Panasonic Plasma TV Model TC-P50S30 Issues

Hello everyone, earlier last year I had picked up from a local computer store that also did electronics recycling, a 2011 Panasonic Plasma Smart TV model TC-P50S30 that when you plug it in and turn it on, you hear it attempt to turn on but then it shuts down and the power LED flashes 6 times which according to the service manual I found online for the TV means there's an issue with the SC Board, and when I removed the SC board and tested all of the electrolytics on the board they all tested extremely high ESR (like to the point of being nearly shorted because my ESR meter would read between 25 and 50 Ohms of ESR on some of them with one measuring infinite, or shorted.

My question is, I was putting together an order on Mouser of replacement capacitors for the SC Board on this TV and 3 of the capacitors I needed weren't available except as a really odd Cornell-Dublier unit that was oval shaped and was $35 a pop (and I need 3 of them) and I was wondering if I could substitute in a capacitor that's 10 uF higher than the original capacitor's value but the same voltage and have this unit still work?

I know Solid state devices are a little finickier about capacitor values than tube powered stuff but I wonder if 10 uF would affect things that much?

The Capacitor value in question is rather odd being a 140 uF 250V electrolytic capacitor, and the closest value I found that was a standard size and shape of capacitor was a 150 uF 250V electrolytic.

Thanks for your help.
