I own a Mitsubishi HD 1080 series HD TV; MODEL#VS-50111. Recently the TV shut itself off after a few minutes of operation. I unplugged it and after a few hours, plugged it in and it came on for about 5 minutes then shut off again. I ran the Diagnostic check and came up with a error code of 2-3. Through other postings this error code should be either a Horizontal Deflection failure or an error with the Deflection protect. Is this a major repair/worth fixing? Love this TV and it's only 5 years old. Thanks
I believe it is going to be a major repair and I would hesitate to invest much money into it. I think the age of this set is older than 5 years. The VS model series were manufactures before the WS model series and they have been around for 8 years or so. Never the less, parts availability is getting tougher. If your pain thresh hold is 300.00 or 400.00
go for it. If not, check out new sets.
Hope this helps,

Thank you very much for the advice. I agree it may more cost effective to "bite the bullet" and buy a new TV.
