-Why is the inside of the cartridge sticky?
+Why is the inside of the 3ds cartridge sticky?

Text:

Both the board and the gray casing are sticky.
Is it possible to clean it or is it broken?
If it is possible to clean, what should I use? I've tried cleaning this cartridge several times but I just opened it for the first time to get a better clean
I'm going to get some 91% rubbing alcohol and I also have electrical contact cleaner.
(Also, this cartridge is from eBay so I don't know what has happened to it 😞)

+Update: I got some 91% alcohol and attempted to clean the sticky stuff off. I was able to get a lot off of it but the cartridge still doesn't work. Also these pictures are from before it was cleaned.
