It means that your game is haunted by a Spoopy camper creepypasta ghost!

...Really though, something on the chip is most likely wrong.

It's that, or the solder cracked while you cleaned it (a common issue I get with fixing old computers). While the solution I use tends to be a reflow. This can be done in a simple toaster oven or with a soldering iron, but make sure you look up and fully comprehend how the procedure works.

Other than that, have you tried blowing in it?

@Waluigi: Toaster oven how does that work?

It's just another way to heat the board up and get the solder flowing again. I'm not sure how long a GB board would take, but I'm fairly certain you'd have to remove the internal battery first.

Honestly just use a soldering iron and a YouTube tutorial and you're golden.

I fixed my broken The Sims GBA cartridge with duck tape and part of a lolipop stick (to keep the chip's contacts down, touching the board)

Works like a charm.
