HMD Barbie Inner Backplate Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

The HMD Barbie Phone (model number TA-1420) inner backplate is the part of the phone beneath the outer backplate that protects the motherboard and also holds the removable battery. If there is significant damage to the inner backplate or if there is difficulty keeping the battery in place, you may want to replace this part. Removing this part is an important step in accessing the motherboard and keypad of the phone.

When prying off the inner backplate in Step 2 of this guide, ensure that the side buttons and charging port are fully released from the inner backplate to prevent damage.
