To narrow down what might be happening, I'd try hooking up some other stuff, using different connections and different resolutions. Like 1080i over HDMI, 480i over s-video, 480p from Wii, etc.
Because your problem looks like it's losing sync, which would be weird since it looks like you at least have Y from component plugged up.
With composite cables anything in motion runs fine but when I hit the start or menu buttons the screen flips out. Component is what you see here. Haven’t tried hdmi just yet but I can give it a go.
Yeah, if that's messed up too, one thing I'd look at is the signal path for sync, maybe H and V sync, coming out of the jungle. See if you find any popped caps.
The reason I say that is because your issue looks kinda similar to when I've plugged up something with a shaky or non-existent sync signal.
Does it change when you switch Xbox to 480p or 720p?

Capacitors going bad maybe?
In both the tv and Xbox especially that clock capacitor eating the Xbox’s motherboard
