XBOX - Component Video Problems Please Help!!

I am helping a freind connect his Original XBOX system to his new 50" Insignia LCD Flatpanel. It runs at maximum resolution of 720p.

I went out and bought a component A/V pack so that he couyld squeeze the most life out of his system. Unfortunaately, when I test games on it, I get severely split pictures on some games. I have attempted to load Fable (480P) and Dragon's Lair (720P) with disastrous results. Both of these games have had duplicate images with entire horizontsal lines out of place. Its like half of the tiop part of the image is on the bottom. It seems that the lines are severly out of sync. On Dragon's Lair it was far worse than on Fable however.

I checked the cables to verify that they were in the correct ports, and they were, I tried the component 1 and component 2 plug in locations on the set and experienced the same problem. I unplugged all of the wires and started again. Same problem.

I thought that I had a few theories on what might be causing the issue when I popped in a copy of Mortal Kombat: Deception (480P) and the game ran buttery smooth. At this point I have no idea what to think. The Xbox website and the insignia website are of almost no assistance. Has anyone else experienced this issue? When I had my XBOX hooked up a long time ago I never had any such issues.

does the dvd player work on it, when you plug it into the same input?

It could possibly be that the back connectors on the tv are loose making the tv lose its signal from the wires that would explain the eratic behaviour. here is a simple test to see if that is the case,

keep the wires plugged in to the game system and tv and turn them both on if you get the lines on the screen jiggle the chords and eventually you will get a signal.

be careful though and not shake them too hard! also this test is easeier with two people one to watch the screen the other to shake the chords. if it is a new tv take it back and get a replacement because this problem gets worse over time.

Turns out he was inibriated when he initially set the thing up LOL.

So in truth I guess it was actually him...
