Take the DME apart carefully and just start reflowing the joints. The DME is quite a sturdy design. Make sure to get it all back together the same way.

You haven't determined that the DME is the problem yet.

As you report voltage to the injectors and the coil the alarm does not seem to be the problem -- unless it's cutting off the fuel pump.

But....

Most after market alarms will ground out the trigger side of the coil. This is the same side that goes to the DME. I would take that wire off and with the key on spark that side to ground. NOTE: This is the opposite side that the power comes in!

If you get a spark then the alarm is grounding that side or DME is not triggering the coil properly.
