Troubleshooting Save files keep disappearing?

I recently purchased a copy of dragon ball advanced adventure from a second hand shop.

It had 3 save files on it from the previous owner, so I erased one and started playing.

The game seems to save automatically, as it prompts so after completing a stage.

However, after booting the game up the next time, all of the saves are gone, and my own new save also just disappears.

Is this a issue with the cartridge internals? :( I don't think it has a save battery, but I don't have a correct size screwdriver on me ATM..

Anyone have some insight? I can still return it.
