Hello coppermask57,
Welcome to the element14 Community, we hope you enjoy it! I will move this over to the Raspberry Pi area as it is a better fit.

Thank you,

Jamie

I suggest looking at the RasPi Troubleshooting Wiki: http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Power_.2F_Start-up

Corwin, (coppermask57)

When you say there is LED on is there a Red and Green (Flashing) LED or just Red?

If only Red you could try checking the SD card is correctly seated. If you have both then it sounds like the RPi is working but there may be an issue with displaying the signal from the RPi

Corwin, this seems to happen quite a lot so it's best always to check be this an ISO file for a CD/DVD or a SDCARD .img file
Under Linux you can use md5sum or sha1sum to check the MD5 or SHA1 sums when specified. For Windows I found this which is interesting
