If a new head didn't fix it, then you have a dead printer. At least, not
worth the expense of repairing.

It is not worth repairing anyway.  Just get a new printer for around $80.00.  It uses better ink anyway.

On the nozzle check pattern, the light cyan and light magenta stripes are completely missing. Have tried everything I can think of: nozzle cleaning, nozzle deep cleaning, print head alignment, new ink tanks, new print head, remove and reinstall drivers, but the problem persists. Is there anything else I can try before consigning this printer to oblivion?

oops... I missed the fact that you replaced the head, sorry. I can only
suggest you make sure the head contacts are clean and making proper contact.
