Old laserdisc player with red, yellow and white outputs to new samsung tv. So I tried s-video to hdmi and those cables gave no signal. Any help My tv has a blue and yellow component and that is it.
 
Solution
You can't use a passive cable to convert svideo to HDMI. An active converter would work.
Your TV may have a shared component-composite video input. Check the TV manual. You would change the input to composite in the TV menu and connect the composite video out of the LD player to one of the component input jacks.

I have a 65 inch samsung 4k curved tv with the one connect box. I purchased the below:

converts composite to hdmi and upscales up to 4k at 60fps. Most laserdisc look better then dvd with the upscaling, motion is better and colors are warmer. Best settings for movies is to use natural picture setting with deep blacks and for animation such a Disney use movie picture setting with high contrast and warm colors. I hope this helps.
