    You shouldn't use the same type of connectors, as you can see, they didn't last. You should use connectors with crimp style pins , instead of "punched". For example , this marco kit uses exactly that , crimp style connections.

    Of course if your machine has now LEDs all over , the current draw will be significantly lower , and newer , higher quality connectors won't ever burn again.

    I should have added , you are better off replacing the pin header as well, because it has oxidized from those burned connectors.

    At least use a small metal brush or something abrasive to scrub the oxidized pins. Also , pay attention to connectors J101 and J102 (far right of driver board), as this is the input voltage and more often than not , these pins need attention as well (most common issue is random resets).
