Replacement TV AV Cable for Bitt-Boy

The Bitt-Boy handheld TV cable is a bit thin and weedy. Mine didn't last long and seems to have a loose connection on the TV end.

I contacted Bitt-Boy for a replacement cable. They didn't respond to my email.

Via Twitter they sent me a photo of the cable (which I already have), and told me to go on ebay and order a "Av line one minute two 2.5 RCA lotus line millet"

Which basically means take a risk and order a 2.5 mm AV cable from ebay.

Which Cable?

I had already bought a "nokia 2.5mm to RCA AV Audio Video out TV cable" but since (I assume) that has 3 connectors it didn't work. Shame. It was a super quality cable.

You might already have a cable

I tried the cable from another handheld TV Game a "Retro Games Controller" from Thumbs Up with "200 built in games". I hunted through all my direct to TV games and tried this one.

And the cable worked fine - better than Bitt-Boy cable and probably 'good enough'. So cables from other devices might work. But it still screams 'cheap cable' and probably won't last if it is used a lot.

The Perfect Cable

I then took a punt on a "Fuji Finepix 2.5 mm AV Cable" which is really good quality and works well, provided you put the colours in the right way round. Using the bitt-boy white for video, yellow for audio.

I bought mine from ebay for the princely sum of £2.99 + 99p postage.
