check the card reader (simply look inside) - they are pretty crappy and could have bent or broken contacts. if you don't see anything, open the ndsl and check the contacts from the card reader to the mainboard.

the part can be replaced, but that involves soldering. i always bought the part from chinese sellers on ebay - it cost's around 3$ (i had it with free shipping for that price)

Just spray a small amount of WD40 onto the game cartridge's connectors. Insert the cartridge into the ds lite and then remove. Use a toothpick to clean between the pins inside the ds lite and you should be back to normal.
