It didn't really happen that often for me. Whether it was because I was pretty good about putting the cartridge back in the sleeve or just random luck. The times that the cartridge didn't work I would blow on it though I remember using less breath and more air (Lips being in a whistle shape versus having your cheeks puff out). It is encouraging to see I was doing what was suggested in the article. When I couldn't get it to work the first time I would use isopropyl alcohol.

The real trick was to insert the unruly cartridge just far enough to barely clear the ledge as you press it down. It is known.

Having fixed dozens of borked DS systems with this arcane method, and assuming that there's some similarity, I must disagree.
