Yes clean it and if you have a unibios installed then do a crc check.

It's just dirty. Most MVS carts are dirty as sin. Clean them and use a de-oxidizing solution on them to recondition the connector pins. The game will work good as new.

No sound at all means the M1 ROM on the CHA board isn't making a full connection.

Can chips go bad? I mean if there isn't any physical abuse to the cart. Sometimes I see games listed as non-working (for cheap) and I question whether it's worth getting them in the hopes they just need to be cleaned or at worst, resolder a few pins. I've repaired some of my own things including a pinball display. Had to send out my VB LED's since my iron wasn't fine enough for that kind of work.
Basically when do you know it's a lost cause?

Yes, chips can short out. Solder joints can become cold too, causing poor connections between the ROM chip and the board. If contact cleaning and reflowing doesn't fix a particular chip, it's probably bad.

Open the cart and use an eraser to clean the connectors then put it back together and use a contact cleaner like Deoxit-D5 on the connectors then insert and remove the cart in the system 3 times then power it on. This helps clean both the cart and system at the same time.
i sometimes get similar issues on some games, sounds like i should maybe clean them,
i recently got a crosseds swords cart and when i put the cart in it doesnt work but if i lift it out slighty it works, i was starting to wonder if its my 2 slot board as it seems to happen or one slot more than the other or the carts just need a good clean
