Purchased pi 3 kit with noob sad card doesn't boot

i purchased the pi 3 kit with noob SD card and box. Plugged in keyboard, hdmi, supplied sd card with Noob and power and all I get is a colored screen. Only red led is turned on.

You must get the latest noob card because even as the PI 3 was being shipped, several "fixes" were already sent out. My suggestion until things get caught up, go to for your https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ for your use. Here is latest released same day as Pi. My guess yours earlier since they are pre built earlier than Pi 3 release. BTW, it is not the fault of distributors, but the people who write the software getting in one more fix.
Version: 1.8.0
Release date: 2016-02-29

Ok. Downloading the latest version. It's just that one assumes that the shipped version will work with the shipped end product specially when they are sold as a kit.

I agree, the sold SDcard w pre-installed NOOBS should work automatically and directly out-of-box in the board (RaspberryPI 3) if/when explicitly orderd with and for it. I will cancel and return my card if it does not run in my RPI3 w/o modifications or tinkering..
