Why won't my 3ds read game cards?

Hi, I recently was playing SSB4 on my 3DS, ejected the game card because I wanted to switch to Pokemon Omega Ruby because I was getting tired of smash, and when I tried to put the Pokemon game in the slot, nothing would happen. I turned my 3DS on and off, tried other game cards, did the paper in front of game card trick, and none of it has worked. I love my 3DS very much and I'm on it almost all of the time. If any one can help with this please respond, because I want to make this work ASAP! Thanks!

I would try to blow into the game slot to remove any dust that might be there, or take a look into the slot to check if there are any bent pins there, get a Spudger, or if you don’t have one a flathead screwdriver and try to push them back into place!

Hope I’ve been able to help! :)
