Looking at that 1st Jpg it looks like all those filter caps needs changing
they are swollen.

Replace the mainboard. Not worth the time and agony.

I have a motherboard with a slightly "roasted" coil that I'm interested in
knowing if it is possible to replace and make the board work again.

Have a look at these two images:

http://www.meradan.se/albums/album45/IMG_2211.sized.jpg (solder side)

I know it is difficult to give a clear opinion only by looking, but what
would be your guess? Could it be only the coil that's toasted, or could it
be any more components? If the latter, how can I find out if that's the
case?
