I gotta admit I've never heard before of this trick to fix a flashcart... dunking it in isopropyl alcohol.

I'm not sure if this is gonna work. Considering there is always a risk of getting a dud cart when you order online, you should always make sure you can return it to the reseller before you order in the first place. I know it's a little late for you now. Sorry for you.

Putting it in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol is actually completely safe as long as you let it dry for a few minutes. Alcohols evaporate quickly, so they're good for cleaning electronic components, however, dunking and entire flashcard in it, is something I wouldn't completely recommend.

I'm thinking you might have a clone card, and it's just failing the tests because it's actually failing authenticity checks.

could just be a really poor solder joint somewhere, have you tried all the "wrap tape around it" and "stick paper in with it" methods?

Here's how to tell the difference.

If you have the fake one and can't send it back for a refund, sorry, you are shit outta luck,

Usually, bad English annoys me but this time the OP made me smile
I guess it was the swimming in alcohol part

How about if you try updating the red card to the latest firmware (2.1)?
