Have you tried cleaning out the game or cartridge slot with some rubbing alcohol? If not, get a cotton swab, soak it in rubbing alcohol and then clean out the pins of the game. Use a good amount on the game then insert it into game slot a few times to clean off the internal pins.

You can also clean off the SP pins with some 600+ wet/dry sand paper and gentle sand them a bit. When you've finished sanding, make sure to clean with rubbing alcohol to remove any dust/particles. This will also remove any difficult grim on them.

Try this out and report back if either of those 2 suggestions work.

Do you have to remove any plastic in order to sand the pins?

Might need to provide additional information here. Does this happen with GBA games or GB(GBC) games only? A specific game or all types across the board? I know the issue can span from dirty pins and cold solder joints on either system mobo or game cart pcb. Console mobo being the harder repair as you have to trace back and find where the issue is. Currently working on this on a unit myself and occurs only with GBA carts. Calls for the info after Nintendo Logo and stuck on the white screen, doesn't boot the game (which works on plenty of other consoles).
