A common cause for failure on Atari carts is comtaminated contacts. I had to
actually replace the contact strip on the main board of my vintage '79 800.
Frequently, I have had to take the cartridges apart, and clean the contacts
with a residue free cleaner. Be careful with some types of erasers, they
can leave residues.
