Received this tv for free. Can this be fixed with copper tape?

The capacitor was in fact dead after testing it with a friend. After looking at it a bit more, some of the plastic had melted off of it and I'm assuming onto the soldering gun/iron. I'm sure that had something to do with it. I'll probably just order a similar replacement one on eBay along with that all in one LCR. I have watched several reviews and it looks nice for the price. Thanks for the recommendation.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the picture or color when it worked. The reason they gave it away was because about once an hour when randomly watching, the TV would entirely power off and back on immediately as if nothing happened. The cord was being replaced because it was almost entirely green throughout with oxidation.
