Besides needing a good SD-card, you also need a good SD-card adaptor (or a computer that has an SD-card slot).I forget add, I used 4 different micro sd, two from new pack!!!
Maybe now need special format programm?
What you can advice?
Now that is 2x the word 'good'; It still can be that you think the objects are 'good', but they might not be. It depends on where you bought them maybe.
And then of course it can be that you Raspi B+ is actually damaged or dead. Or that it gets stuck in initial setup procedure that can take long for an older Pi with modern OS.
If my Pi1 would not react anymore, I would try booting another Pi with the same SD-card first.
You can also also order an official RPL SD-card with OS pre-installed maybe. I won't do that, as for an old Pi1 it is not worth it I think. The whole cost including postal mail where I live is such that just replacing the Pi with an old/unused spare Pi3 is cheaper and much faster. Or another brand SBC would also be fine for me.
