Can a power surge kill a single Switch port?

I just got back from uni this summer to find one of the 5 ap's int he house powered on (POE) but not connected to the controller. After looking into it it tuns out that the port being used offers no connection to the network anymore despite still supplying POE.

Now ive heard of power surges killing whole switches or multiple switch ports but never a single port? After hours of googling i cant find a cause for why the single port wouldn't work bar power surges, am I missing something?
