PS3 2504B - ripped off SMD

Hello there,

I just got a PS3 2504B in, and upon opening the console, two capacitors came falling my way. They seem to have been ripped off by the previous owner. You can see the capacitors I'm talking about and their positions on the board in the pictures I provided.

I tried to find some information on them, but with no success. I then thought to just take them from a donor board, but at the moment I don't have the necessary equipment to feel confident enough to desolder them. So I guess the next better option is to find a good replacement. Now my question is, is the 330 on the capacitor representing the uF value? If so, I would have to look for replacements rated with 330 uF and 2.5V, right?
I found a capacitor from Panasonic (2R5SVPE330MY) with those exact values. Is this usable for my case?

I would be very grateful if somebody could help me with this. Thank you in advance!

I recently replaced several of these on a 4001B Super Slim. You are correct they are 330 uF / 2.5V. The Panasonic ones match the specs, but the only thing to possibly note is the size ("Surface Mount Land Size") is 5.3mm x 5.3mm. The replacements I used from AliExpress were 5mm x 6.1mm, and they seemed to match perfectly.

If you want to check out the ones on Ali search for "solid capacitor smd nippon chem" and you should see the ones from seller HKW.
