    Default Who/where can I get a good quality gamebit from?

    Looking to open up my cartridges and clean out the inside of some of my Nintendo systems. Is there any difference among all that bits being sold on eBay or is there a store with good quality parts? I just don't want to waste money on a shoddy bit that is going to be stripped after 2 carts.

    This site is pretty good. A friend bought me a set from this site several years ago and I haven't had a problem with them. He also bought some of their cleaning paste, which he swears by, though I have yet to try it out myself.

    This is your local Nintendo Repair Shop fanboy. Yes, the bit is good. Yes, the cleaning paste is unbelievably amazing. Dealt with the site multiple times.

    If you need a gamebit, buy it there, and buy it NOW ^^.

    I also bought mine from Nintendo Repair Shop. I had to sand it down in order to get it to fit correctly into my games. Works fine now though.

    Thanks for the recommendation guys! Nintendo Repair Shop it is, then.

    Question though, how necessary is the rinse they sell? Is there anything special about it?

    No clue what it is or what it's made of. However, if you buy both the cleaning paste and the rinse and use them, your games will all work again. Must be bottles full of magic or something. Good stuff, fer seriously.
