I just found my original Xbox. What are the odds that the clock capacitor has killed it?

I recently unearthed my old Xbox. The cables, my Duke controllers, everything. Even my old copy of Halo. Being on team Playstation most of my life, I never had very many games for it, but I want to start playing some classics that I didn't have back then.
I recently stumbled upon the clock capacitor leakage issue that plagues these Xboxes. My Xbox has a manufacture date of June 2003, making this a 1.3 or 1.4 board, one of the affected models.
It does power on, but the disc drive opens immediately upon powering up the console (and wouldn't you know it, there was a copy of Bloodwake inside). It will boot to the clock setup no problem, but when I press the button to close the disc tray, the console turns off instantly. It seems to run forever, until I close the tray. Is that a symptom of a dodgy capacitor doing dodgy capacitor things? Or something else inside that's messed up?
I have not had a chance yet to open the console.
EDIT: So as it turns out... the disc drive issue was due to me pushing wrong buttons! Well it has been a while... But still, should I be concerned about the capacitor?
