@Famicuber Thanks for your response.  I hope there is a way to fix it. I agree though it’s definitely not looking good.

@FenrirZeroThanks for taking the time to respond to my post. I tried the button combination however I can’t actually get to the title screen to input it. The game gives me the error message immediately upon booting.

@FireHazard51 Yes here are some pictures of the board. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post. I really appreciate it.

Hello I just got a copy of Pokémon Soul Silver for the DS. It’s 100% authentic however I keep getting this error message.
The DS recognizes the cart, however when I boot the game, before it gets to the title screen it says, “The Save Data Could Not Be Accessed”

I have tried inserting the cart into multiple 3DS, and regular DS consoles, and I keep getting the same message.

I decided to open up the cart and clean the pins. I used 99% alcohol, contact cleaner, and brasso. The pins look great but the game still won’t boot properly. As a last ditch effort I read about some people licking the cart and that failed too.

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know! Thank you!
