The heads, or the pre-amp IC is probably bad. Or the tracks are so far mis-aligned it may not be recoverable. 

The problem with stepper actuated drives, is alignment. Eventually it drifts. 

Some drives have the ability to "rotate" the head stepper motor by loosening up the screws. You can try to see if that brings in alignment. If not, the heads are probably bad.
