I used to do them back when they were expensive, but like camcorders, VCRs, CDs, DVDs, etc, I stopped taking them in (my living, not a hobby).
The picture you're seeing when the capacitor is jiggled is probably normal and the best you'll get. Even when new, they "worked", but not well. The crappy image was overlooked because it was truly a pocket TV and produced a color picture of sorts. The resolutution is poor because the pixel density is low. Take a look at the screen under an eye loupe and you'll see what I mean.
