1. I have the official 5.v 2.5amp power suply. [https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply/](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply/)
2. There is nothing wrong with the 32g SD card, infact i later used it to successfully boot a raspberry 3B.  
i also tried getting a new 15g SD card, same result. :/
3. The RED light is turned on, but no flashing of the green/yellow leds.

Any ideas suggestion or whatevers?

Just in case … the obvious one … Are you using the very latest NOOBS version 2.8.2 (27-June-2018) or Raspbian Stretch/Lite Kernel 4.14 with the same date.

There have been changes for the 3B+ and older ISO/IMG’s are inappropriate.

What he said, with each new Pi release the boot code has to be undated in Raspbian. If you put that SD card in your 3B and run `sudo apt-get update` and `sudo apt-get upgrade` it “should” then be bootable in a 3B+.

I have exactly the same problem and i have try latest noobs 2.8.2.

- The same image can boot in old 3B but not in 3B+.
- Using 2.5A power supply.

I would try the latest Raspbian (non noobs) image. If it boots its a software NOOBS issue. If it doesn’t its a Pi hardware issue.
