Looks like a mosfet got broken. I am no electro-ologist, but it is probably going to have weird voltages wherever that mosfet serves. Might be okay for a while or maybe not.
If I wanted to save the board, I’d order a replacement from Digikey or elsewhere. Just ID one next to it and order it up. Have a finer tip on the soldering iron and Bob’s your uncle!
Looks like maybe the copper pad came off for one of the contacts.
In that case a resolder might be a pain, and require some extra work to expose more of the trace.
I first read that as "finger tip" and was wondering why you were telling OP to burn themselves
Something something equivalent exchange, user must suffer the way the board suffered, karma and all that
