I am thinking in clean the heads or change it.

Any idea ?

Might as well just try cleaning these. If the heads look like that then the likelihood of media damage is high. Putting in a new set of heads will just ruin them in short order.

To be honest this drive needs something more than a head replacement. But can be done.

head look damaged already that clean may won't help and waste time on it.

To me, the heads are out of order : the debris on H0 may have made a disaster on the connections when the circuit was live. It's worth a try, but you have to check thoroughly for the presence of conductive debris / dust EVERYWHERE , then check the head surface after cleaning.

I know you can do that !
