Did your cooling system fail?
Happens to me a lot. My computer has probably been through more heat emergency shutdowns than regular ones. Every few months I remove a 1 cm layer of dust from behind the fan, no idea why they get so dusty so fast, but maybe that's what happened to yours too.That's my guess or the vents got covered and it got too hot. Quite lucky the whole laptop didn't go up I think

Can the blow up thing be replaced or will you have to buy a whole new laptop?
Hm with that kind of computer you better use it sitting in the fridge wearing arctic survival gear.My wife bought a computer the other day that she likes a lot; the guy who sold it said it does heat up, and I kind of queried why one had to wear a swimsuit to use it...

But there's external cooling devices you can buy, they aren't very expensive.
You mentioned it was your laptop. One of the things I have noticed about some laptops is they locate the cooling vents in unusual places. We had a Dell Inspiron mini and I thought it was quite odd that the intake vents were located on the bottom. This is a strange place for them to be on a laptop since setting it in one's lap would block the ventilation system from getting adequate cooling air. What are they thinking?

It's out of warranty and in pieces on my desk at work as I unscrewed everything to see what it was in it and how it all went together lol

Does the back of the board look like that as well? If the damage was limited to that side of the board it might be fixable. It doesn't look like you lost anything that would be too terribly expensive, probably an IC of some sort and then some diodes, caps, and resistors. If you could figure out what exactly those parts were you could probably replace them all for under 10$, but I imagine it'd be hard to figure out what IC was there since it seems to be in pieces. For something to straight up explode like that I doubt it'd be a heat problem. Usually if components are exposed to too much heat they simply stop working rather than explode. Something metallic may have gotten blown in through the vent and shorted out something.
That would not be practical, and most likely not possible. For starters the board is obviously burned up, so the runners are beyond repair. Secondly, even if one knew which components could be replaced, one has to be an expert. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure how they assemble PC boards any longer, but I do know that the resistors and capacitors and other such components are too small to handle manually, let alone being able to see them well. In the olden days of electronics, I could use solder wick to remove the solder and the components back then were 1/4 and 1/2 watt resistors and the like. They were big enough to grab. Now, they are like little dots and on a PC board like trying to manipulate grains of rice.
