My game cartridge doesn’t work

Device:
I've been having issues today with my Switch reading my Binding of Isaac cartridge. It will just randomly act as if the game is not inserted. Not sure if its the cartridge or the system, since I haven't tested it with any other games. Anyone else have similar issues?
Answer(s):
It’s possible that, when you place a cartridge in the Switch, the console won’t acknowledge that there's a game inserted. Try removing and then re-inserting the cartridge into the console and seeing if the game works then.
If the cartridge still doesn’t work, try inserting another game (if you have one) to see if it's a hardware or software issue. If this isn’t possible, the best bet is to return the game and try another cartridge before being able to assess whether it's the Switch or game that's at fault.
