Give some details about what's wrong could be a quick cleaning issue or you're breaking out the soldering iron.

Probably have to clean my Saturn’s cartridges and cartridge slot more thoroughly.

If it's the same as most cart based consoles use isopropyl & cotton buds for the carts. I find using a bit on stiff card cleans the slot.
