Making an educated guess based on the photo?

Looks to me like the positive lead of those wire stubs pulled too much current through the board (possibly by shorting to ground somewhere in the wiring between the PDP+(Speed controller of choice)), overheating it and ultimately igniting the plastic chassis of the PDP.
