It's beside the three regulators, (which if the cap change doesn't work will be the culprits,but that's a whole different problem in itself), sorry but I cannot get down to the level required in the pic to be 100% sure which exact cap it is.
But I gave the name C807, so any tech can pick it out once they have the board in front of them.

did i hear they are positive and negative legs ,curious if the box has surge protection fitted ,i remember the good old sv1 boxes and caps issues.best of luck m8.
Yes a capacitor will have a positive and negative side, just make sure you follow the alignment correctly which is indicated by a line on the side of the cap.
Here is a full picture tutorial, (thanks to al3z77), on where the cap is and how to replace it:

Will be doing this at the weekend, Can it be soldered inside the casing or does the board need to be removed completely?
Better to desolder out of the case with a solder sucker from under the board. However,you can do the job without lifting the board off the back plate if you use a thin solder tip but take care not to damage the solder tracks. Use a small long nose pliers to lift the cap if you are not using a solder sucker.

Not me doing it, I have no knowledge whatsoever about this work, I'm hoping the guy does
Was it an original Vu power supply m8 ?, as a clone power supply will not work an original Vu :-)
HTH
Happened to my original Vu Duo m8, power supply went, red light of death, new power supply, sorted.
And still wouldn't have a clone, even if you paid for it.... :-)
Tried several power supplies, Even took one out the Sky box and my printer to test and it didn't work, Same red light top corner
Are you meaning the cable to the back of the box m8 ?, the power supply is inside the box totally different, that is what will have went.
HTH
Did you try replacing the cap and do you know anyone with original duo that you could swap psu inside box to see if that works.
Not yet and no, will try replacing the cap this weekend if that doesn't work will look at the PSU
