When we first start watching the piture is clear and everything functions properly. Now there are redlines that move verticaly through the picture, getting progressivly worse. The first time this happened the TV actually turned off and would not turn back on. We unplugged it for about a week, and tried it again. This time the picture lasted less before the red lines appeared. At that point we turned it off and unplugged it. Any ideas with these symptoms?

After 11 years???? OMG This set is a tired pup and should be put to reast. My experience with older sets and your complains are all capacitor problems and is only gonna get worse as the first time around repair will take several capacitors to repair. This set has no user serviceable parts inside so you should not attempt a repair suchj as this on your own.. This repair if you decide to go through the first time will be About 300 to 600 bucks the first time and cost will continue to raise till the sets put to sleep. Good luck

SOURCE: I have a Mitsubishi VS-50607 with a Code 24 Problem

its just a condenser(capacitor) ..so just try to locate it ..from the image board..cause Im sure that all this time the sound its still on ...just carefully measure 'em all and locate it ...after that just change it with another one or try to put something similar on the same size.. I can not tell you the exact one cause Im not familiar with the model ...but I do had this problem with the concentrated horizontal (middle screen ) line ...and always was about this ....
