It rarely is a capacitor fault with red max or max v boxes anyway, dodgy psu to mainboard connections have been known to cause problems, i have had to reflow solder on 2 red maxes on the underside of the mainboard header before. also had to reflow on underside of the display connector once as well. probably down to dry joints but quite rare, usually it will only be needing jtagged if it was flashed with dnupman and firmware rather than a UFL.
