    So, update: I received the capacitors today, and installed them in the inverter.. MIRACLE! The inverter is back to life like nothing happened lol. Can't believe a tiny capacitor can do that. I replaced the two 16v 1000uF ones only as I found it very hard to find any other capacitor replacements. There was visual evidence that the capacitors (C78 and C79) were both goners. 
    @BritishRacingGreen and @Coulomb Thank you so much for your valuable contribution to this thread. Saved me from needing to purchase a new inverter just due to two small capacitors.

    Hi @Coulomb and @BritishRacingGreen, 
    I seem to have be the latest victim to this type of failure. I am actually currently in the USA, but my cousin reported the error after the inverter failed and did the whole relay-clicking and blinking LCD screen on attempted start up. Purchased some capacitors and will recap upon my return to SA on Sunday. Your assumption seems to be coming true. I'll let you know if it does the trick or if I find any other issues.
