Looks like a fuse to me ... Problem is that a fuse is either "there" or "not there" and in order to blow like that (obviously hot!) it must have passed a LOT of current in the few milliseconds before it blew. Which means that its a symptom of something else.
Expect something horrid downstream of that fuse.
Have a close look at all other components on the board with a magnifying glass. You might find something simple to replace and THEN replace the fuse.
OR ... if someone had reveresed the polarity of the power supply, or plugged in the wrong one by mistake - that might happen with no other defects.
