Coil beyond repair?



I have a motherboard with a slightly "roasted" coil that I'm interested in knowing if it is possible to replace and make the board work again.

Have a look at these two images:

I know it is difficult to give a clear opinion only by looking, but what would be your guess? Could it be only the coil that's toasted, or could it be any more components? If the latter, how can I find out if that's the case?
