While an iFixit contributor has made a guide here, there's generally no a need to disassemble a 3DS game cartridge for cleaning. If the problem is cleanliness, it's the externally visible contacts that are typically the culprit. Saturating a cotton swab with high-concentration isopropyl alcohol or electrical contact cleaner and going over the contacts of the cartridge can be a sufficient solution to a lack of function on that front. If you haven't done so, give that a try before pursuing more intrusive measures. Give the cartridge a few minutes to dry completely and try it again. If you have to get into the cartridge, it may very well be some other kind of problem that you're dealing with.
