Topic: What happened to my y axis belt, and how to fix?

I left a print going overnight, and woke up to find this...

What happened? and how can I fix this? the belt is torn/melted/whatever it is right on the text that tells me what kind of belt it is, so I can't even try replacing it until i figure out what type of belt exactly it is. It's for the Y axis....can anyone help me out?

Davinci 1.0a.

Okay I've talked with the company and it sounds like they are going to ship me a replacement belt, any resources or guides on how I can do this without screwing up my printer?

Resources or guides? Man you learn by taking apart, take pictures if necessary and then put back together..

Seriously though get on Youtube and search. There is video for nearly everything you would need to do to this printer now..
