Do other cartridges work in your console?

i tried cleaning this with a cloth and other things

#

is there a possibility that the back part of it is fading

if the cart is working on your friend's switch, then it could sadly be either the cart or your switch

Your reader may be wearing out and having difficulty reading some carts, or the pins on your cart are worn enough that it only works sometimes.

#

Either way, you may need to replace the cardridge reader or the cart itself if it continues to be an issue. Just to be safe, make sure your system is up-to-date and fully power your switch off by holding power and hitting "power off", not sleep. Insert the cart then power on

#

Here are some resources to replace your cart reader or to contact Nintendo. You could also try visiting a local repair shop or setup a repair with Nintendo if you aren't comfortable yourself
