damaged sidecar

Anyone ever had Q1 on the sidecar PCB go bad (as in part of the chip is blown off)? We are not sure what caused the problem, it was in a working robot but the board could be several years old. I ordered new parts from Digikey (they are cheap) and am hoping a quick solder job will bring the board back to life.

TIA
