No, that is not how it works. If the start capacitor is bad the compressor won't start. You can't check the pressures, and know whether it needs refrigerant, without the compressor running. I believe the poster said it was covered under warranty. Regardless, whenever refrigerant is added the tech should also check for a leak. 2 lbs of refrigerant is a pretty good percentage of the total amount of refrigerant in the system.
