Hello
I have tried to use the S-Video output with a number of cables however it doesn't show anything on a screen or projector.

Re: S-Video
The RPi does not have S-Video. It has Composite (RCA) and HDMI only.
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.

Re: S-Video
You need to update /boot/config.txt to get RCA/AV/composite video running. Add
sdtv_mode=2 # UK PAL composite
If you're not in the UK check at:
http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video
for the value to set.
The yellow RCA socket on the RPi needs to be connected to a yellow RCA input on your TV (and the right AV input mode selected).

"It still doesn't work. Do you think it might be broken?"
Probably not. Please post here the current contents of the /boot/config.txt file.
