What is this s video and Vga cables you are trying to use? Are you using an adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/S-video-Converter-Adapter-Cable-Laptop/dp/B000P3UB24 ? If you read the reviews and specs, it is not likely to work. Spend $50 - 100 and get a used HD set with VGA input. In my local area there are many 24" -28" TVs for under $100 and several 32" in the $100 range.
