Heads are bad, stop playing with it.

Thank you, but there are a couple of questions:
About the head - that's your assumption, or an accurate diagnosis?
A simple replacement of heads helps in such cases?

A "accurate" remote diagnosis is impossible remotely

A "simple" head exchange might well solve the problem, but there could (probably is) be underlying issues.

As is written, HM means head are damaged.
Good luck.

Heads for sure, maybe platter damage also

The main problem would be to replace the heads, I understood correctly?

Well not problem, but solution.
Be aware, it is not as easy as it looks if the person performing the work is inexperienced with the technique.
