Hayward OnCommand not keeping time correctly

I've seen a few threads about repairing the PCB on these older Hayward systems, but not specifically for the OnCommand. I've found a place that will repair my board for about $200, but I'm hoping that it's the same issue (failed capacitor) that I can do myself for about $10 and have almost no downtime.

I have attached a pic of the PCB and am hoping someone on here can let me know the following:

1. Is it the same capacitor as used on other Hayward boards of 'similar age\vintage'? I was able to snap more pictures and confirmed, the OnCommand board is a 5.5V 0.33F capacitor
2. Is there anything else I should look at or fix while I have the board out of the housing?
3. Will all my programming (valves, spa, etc.) still be there after replacing the capacitor?

Thank you all so very much.

Programming doesn't change.

Hey there! I've got the same issue with my Hayward board. Did you find a solution to this? Thanks in advance for your insight!
