How to Change Batteries in a Barbie Doll

The Barbie Video Girl Doll is the only Mattel Barbie doll on the market that is battery operated. The doll boasts the feature of digitally recording video in "doll's-eye-view," which can be easily uploaded to a computer using a USB cable. Only two AAA batteries are necessary for the doll to function for 75 hours. A simple battery installation or replacement can be done safely at home using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
