    probably a bent pin in the cartridge slot... fixable but you need to dismantle your console. Otherwise your game is faulty?

    you need to dismantle them down to the cartridge slot.. should be obvious however I advise you do this with caution and observe anti-static precautions.

    You don't need to dismantle them. Usually it is just a loose contact. Place a bit of card between the cartridge and the outer wall of the DS when you insert the cartridge, and it should ensure better contact.
