R4i Gold 3DS RTS Plus not making contact?

[Nakamichi]

I have issues with my R4i Gold 3DS RTS Plus.
Sometimes Roms do not load or Games freeze.
Used to work without issue.

Is it not making contact? Is there a way to fix this?

Should i upgrade to a better flashcart?

Thanks for any help in advance!

You could do the funny paper trick, take the cart apart, cut some paper, place cut paper behind the contacts, put it back together.

Usually solves most contact issues.

As well as the usual blow into the slot and see if it helps.

Tried it and seems promising!
Needs more testing, but for now i have had no issues.

Thank you for replying!
