Only the plastic is melted? PCB still not inside? just in need of a new casing?

Yes, it was just the shell.  I threw everything else out.  :)  Hell with it.

Odds are he can help you fix that hu-card right up. :)

With 20 pounds of hot glue.

Short answer, there are no replacable parts in a HUEY so only cleaning and drying count

My copy of New Adventure Island does this. If I apply a little downward force to the card while its slotted it works just fine.

I wedge a small piece of folded paper under the lip after the card is inserted to play.

Shifting the HuCARD might have the same result? Maybe? Without the downward force?

Of course, use any method that works.

No shifting it doesn't work unfortunately. The pins on the Hu are pretty worn down and damaged, they slightly sink into the card. Someone must have tried to clean the contacts with something hella abrasive.

The plastic could have warped or something. Maybe left out in the sun?

I had a copy of world sports competition once where I had to put a piece of tape on the bottom of the hu card so it would push the pins up high enough to make contact. Otherwise it wouldn't work. Pins also looked way to low compared to other cards. I always wondered if it was a manufacturing defect or something.
