Any luck with Bitmain helping you? I had one explode, looks like wpgdeez'z below. Except it was the cap under the 12V+ header.(One farthest left in the below picture) Funny thing to is, it was the same side of the miner. IE, the side opposite the control board.

Still haven't found the cap cover. Sure did give off a nice spray of sparks.

Heres what you don't want your cap to look like ...

They gave me an RMA number for their account with UPS and UPS didn't know what I was talking about. I haven't bothered fixing it, maybe i'll get someone to solder on a new cap and see if it will hash again. Not sure what caused the CAP to pop, I would think some other underlying issue.

It'll probably be a pretty cheap cap that's being run too close to rating. Any TV repair shop will be able to fix this for you, the traces are intact, should take them a few seconds and cost virtually nothing. Better still though, if there is not many of them, have them all changed for a higher voltage replacement.

EDIT: If you get a replacement yourself, make sure its marked 'Low-ESR'.
