I was hoping for some new insight into the problem. Like, at this point, has anyone ever bothered to test just how much saliva would get deposited inside a cartridge and if that quantity would really be sufficient to cause appreciable corrosion? Or is that just a line that everyone’s going to repeat forever?
On a related note, many years after I purchased it, one of my 3DS cartridges started failing a while ago. (This is a not-unknown and deeply concerning problem, but so far it only seems to mainly affect a very small number of titles.) I tried to call customer support about getting a replacement and the representative on the line had the nerve to suggest that cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol could have made the problem worse…!
