Who is this Nintendo Repair Shop tech wanna be? That link provided only shows replacement of the 72 pin connector, not the cartridge tray.

Anyways, the "latch" is a small metal pin that rides in a two-way track one push locks it second push unlocks it. Pull the whole black plastic "tray" out and you'll find two opposite parts made of white or blue plastic imbedded in the middle of the tray. Either the "track half" is worn or the "pin half" has broken or bent. Mine was the pin half, properly bending a safety pin and simply replacing it fixed mine. There is no part of the latch that connects "under the mother board" I repeat, there is no need to pull the MoBo to fix the latch! Good Luck!
