You might try inserting and removing a cartridge in the slot repeatedly (10 or more times) if you don't want to disassemble and clean it.

Sometimes I find that some carts don't work when pushed all the way in. This is very true for the EMS carts. What I do is push the cart all the way in, turn the game on and push the cart as far up as I can until it's stopped by the on switch. The "Nintendo" logo may be a mess but it's not until after the DMG makes the "bling" noise that I attempts to boot the cart.

rubbing alcohol should be fine. q-tips/ear buds are a safe bet too.

sweet thanks for your quick reply, what kind of cleaner do you recommend?
just rubbing alcohol with ear buds?

Take apart the cartridge and clean it. If that doesn't work do that to the contacts on the gameboy. It's not a big issue.

Firstly I'm sorry if this is in another thread, I looked around but could not find the same topic. So if anyone knows of a previous thread just point me in the right direction, and I will say sorry to all.

As the title says I recently bought a grey DMG-001 from Super Potato in Akihabara (Japan), got home put in my LSDJ cart, turned it on and only got the jumbled Nintendo sign. I repeated this many times after blowing on the cart and the cart socket in the DMG but to no avail.
I then tried this with a Tetris cart (I bought only for testing purposes) and had the same result.
I know these carts work because I have been using them on another DMG I have for a while now.
So before I decide to go back to Akihabara and talk to the shop people, I was wondering if anyone here has any advice so I can fix it myself.
Besides it was only 3000yen so it would be easier to fix before making a claim to the shop.

P.S the only thing that the shop stated was wrong with it, is a scratch on the screen.
