I've got a Jackie Chan that decided not to work for unknown reasons.  While we're on the subject, is  there any way to Fix a broken hu card?

If cleaning doesn't work and it doesn't work in different console, it's toast.  The ROM chip are tiny and mounted directly without PCB, fabbing a new ROM chip won't be easy or cheap.

It would be cool to collect broken hucards and make them into a wall mosaic or some other kind of wall art, especially if they can't be recovered.

I've never seen a HuCard dissected, but is there any chance that the ROM chip itself has lost connection with the HuCard contacts and hasn't actually died?

That is a possibility but it's still challenging to solder a wire from tiny rom chip under epoxy to a contact without melting the while black thing and getting it back on flat and smooth.

I took apart a Sega card (Tennis) and if it's similar to HuCard, it's probably not worth the effort for common games.

It was a Buy It Now, and a reseller snatched it up.

I actually saw it live as an auction at $55. Someone must have contacted the seller and asked them to put it as a BIN.

Well Im not going to say that it's a definite but everybody on here says a reseller bought this.   I looked on lukie games and they have now in stock every game that was on that sale. I think that may have bought it. I see that they are selling bonk 3 card only for 240.00. Crazy.

They've had that Bonk up there for awhile, and neither Splatterhouse nor Turrican are up for sale, so I don't think the buyer was Lukie.  Lucky, probably, but not Lukie.

Ok. I didn't know. I do know lukie games does that though. Buy games cheap or buys lots and jacks up the price on those website. Some are good prices on some of the games.
