My god, if a 3yr old can do that, then we have underestimated the DSL.

I remember finding a manual on how to re-shell the DSL, I think you have to be extra careful with some parts, good thing the left side didn't snap, otherwise your DSL would be dead.
I suggest covering parts with cloth to avoid drips if you're going to be soldering anything whatsoever.
Here's that tutorial: www.flickr.com/

One more thing, the flatwire may be damaged, so be careful with it.
