    Ok when i put my LG into my Game boy Micro it doesn't load. I also tried in both my DS's and it wont say there is a game in there. Can you please help?
     
    Hmm... did you try blowing into the cartridge and the game slots? Dust or other debris that gets caught between the connectors can make a system fail to recognize the presence of a game. It drives me crazy on my DS or when I'm using a GameCube controller on my Wii...

    Also, did it work prior to now? If it didn't, then you might have gotten the cartridge defective and you should demand either an exchange/refund. If not, then it's possible something might have been damaged inside of the game cartridge. If it worked before, shake the cartridge around gently and listen to hear if anything rattles on the inside (NOTE: the only thing that should make a noise is the main circuit board on the inside moving around a little). If there's a second rattling noise, then the cartridge is most likely broken and you'll have to get a replacement.
     
    well i know theres a battery in those cartridge games. maybe the battery died? maybe you should get a new one
     
    ok thanks for all the help i tried blowing but it didnt work i also tried shaking it and i heard 1 noise. i tried pushing it as far as it could go but still no help. I cant get a refund as i bought over 5 years ago and lost the recipt. So as a last hope i took it apart and saw multiple pins where damaged and i decided to call that as the problem.

    Looks like you need a new cart.

    You can get one for ten bucks at eBay.

    I'd be incredibly careful buying any sort of gameboy game from ebay. They're usually known to be pirated copies with short-life internal batteries and horrible build quality. I'd try bending the pins back into position. If you DO get it working on a DS, migrate everything to another game. You don't know how long it will last.

    That's true; I forgot about that possibility.
