{{Warning|text=It is not advisable to blow into the cartridge slot or on the cartridge directly with your breath. The moisture in your breath will cause rust to form, damaging the pins.}} | |||
Before anything, try cleaning the contacts of your cartridge with a microfiber cloth and 99% Isopropyl alcohol. '''Do not use water.''' | |||
If available, also try using compressed air in the cartridge slot to blow out any debris. This ensures the pins are not covered in any dirt or grime. | |||
