So a few days ago I received the RaspPi B+ I set up Raspian and plugged it in to the HDMI and my USB Keyboard/Mouse and plugged it into power.... Nothing happened, the lights came on, the green and the red and then just the red. But no video. Thinking I might not have installed Raspian correctly I installed Noobs instead, plugged it in and it displayed boot up. When it came to the Menu to choose an OS I couldn't select anything, none of the USB ports recognized any of the USB keyboards or mice I plugged into it in any port. So I took a working copy of the OS from my RaspPi B and put that into the B+ thinking it might not have loaded USB drivers or something to that effect and I again got no video signal.
Is it an OS issue? Is there not an updated OS that runs on the B+ or is it the whole unit not working? Or is my RPi B+ faulty?

Re: Raspberry Pi B+ not working
I've seen people trying to use systems installed on Model B's have problems with USB, but HDMI video ought to work. Come to think of it, it might be a NOOBS issue, since I had the same problem with NOOBS. I haven't seen the video issue.
Seems like your video hardware works, though. This may be a problem for the Raspberry Pi forums.
Which version of Raspbian did you try to install? I think it needs to be 6-20-2014 or later.

Re: Raspberry Pi B+ not working
That could have been the issue, now I really feel like a noob, except I am pretty sure the Noob OS is current, could be faulty. Thanks.
