Can't really tell from your photos. Maybe you can clarify exactly where that burn is coming from.

I can't think of what would be on the PCB at the base of that rectifier other than a few ceramic caps that wouldn't burn nearly that much.

EDIT: I think I know what you mean by "platter thing." In the second photo, that brown round thing is a ceramic cap. It could be what blew. Still hard to explain.
Thanks for clarification Johnny...
