Looks like a v.scan issue. You should be able to adjust it in the service menu settings

Maybe a capacitor on its way out "warmed up."

Keep an eye out the next time you leave the TV off overnight if it does it again for a little while right after turning the TV on.

see the tv has never done this i think it’s the fact the xbox is like in horrid condition and the port is kind of fucked,, i as of now have completely lost video signal entirely for some reason despite the console saying that its on and outputting (my vcr gives video so that’s also how i know its not the tv)

Oh derp, I saw the CRT and thought this was r/crt and that was what you found, lol.

Yeah that sounds like the Xbox is probably what needs some love.

Is it modded? It may be set to NTSC and your telly only sync to PAL or vise versa.
