Pokémon silver only works directly after being cleaned

when trying to use the game it often either won’t load up or freeze. When I clean the board with isopropyl alcohol it works perfectly. The problem is that I have to clean it every single time I want to play even if it’s only a few hours apart. I’ve replaced the battery but it didn’t really fix anything. I haven’t noticed any broken traces so does anybody have a suggestion on what I can do?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Try cleaning the pins on your gameboy. The only cause for this I can think of is those being dirty
