New Raspberry pi B+ won't boot

I got a Raspberry pi B+ and preloaded NOOBS 8GB micro sd card from Element 14, inserted the card, connected the HDMI cable, mouse, and keyboard. When I supplied power (unit made specifically for the pi, 5V 1amp), both the red and green lights both come on and stay on (full brightness), neither flash, and I get nothing on the TV. Thought it might be a bad card, so I purchased a class 10 sd card, formatted (FAT32) it with the suggested software, downloaded the NOOBS and copied it to the card, and got the same (no boot) result. Also tried having nothing connected when I supplied power, but got same result again. Suspect the pi is bad; any help appreciated.

Here is an abstract form the NOOBs documentation. Display Mode Selection: By default, NOOBS will output over HDMI at your display's preferred resolution, even if no HDMI display is connected. If you do not see any output on your HDMI display or are using the composite output, press 1, 2, 3 or 4 on your keyboard to select HDMI preferred mode, HDMI safe mode, composite PAL mode or composite NTSC mode respectively. https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/blob/master/README.md#about Hope this helps
I suggest you to try at least the HDMI safe mode
