I'm stuck with my RPi. When I powered it up with the pre-installed NOOBS card, both LEDs (ACT & PWR) are glowing solidly. My connected screen also displays no response.
What could cause this problem?.

1Can you please explain how you prepared your SD card – evolutionizer Mar 25 '16 at 19:40

Yup. I downloaded the NOOBS for rpi.org and Extracted it. I formatted my SD card using SDFORMATTER and copied the files into it. – AbuTaj Mar 26 '16 at 08:01

How big is your card? I had the same problems with NOOBS instillation when I first tried. I thought it was a power supply problem from everything I read. I tried different power supplies with no success. I changed to Raspbarian and everything worked. However, this is some time ago and I have no explanation for why Raspbarian worked. – S.

When you say copied the files onto the card, you mean you used something like Win32DiskImager to copy the image to the SD card, right? – Kevin Hooke Apr 11 '16 at 07:18

You cannot just copy the image to sd card. You should write it on a disk, because it need to make partitions on your sd card. You can use Win32DiskImager on Windows or dd on Linux.
