My one stepper motor just quick working right in the middle of a print. Now it just stutters then stops. I tested the motor in other ports and it works fine, so it is that particular port on the board. After taking a closer look at the board I noticed this

I suspect that this is the source of the problem. I'm not an electronic person, so what do you guys think, could this board be saved or should I start ordering another board. Also I'd like to know what might have caused this, could it be a setting on my power supply sending too much power or some kind of wiring short. I don't want to hook up another board and have the same thing happen.
Note I have been using my printer without issues for about 2 months now, so this is either something that just occurred or has been slowly happening for a long while.
