Seems like there could be all sorts of explanations - earlier, bugged revision of cart or 'BIOS' board, could be a bootleg cart, could be bitrot in the cart or board making it go funky, could be behaviour that only occurs if you put a game with a title ending in 'L' in the 7th slot, could be that the seller just needs to take the cart out, blow on it and put it back in again!
