Bought a Raspberry pi to go with my OBi

I have Windows 8 and using SDFormatter to QUICK format SD card and then Win32diskimager to write IncrediblePBX image (raspbian7-incrediblepi-12-02-2013.img) file.
Because the US perversely uses the illogical month-day-year format I cannot tell if that image is from December or February! Why does that matter?
Over the two years that the RPi has been manufactured some different makes of RAM chip have been used. Each time there is a new one the RPi firmware needs to be updated to support it. RPi firmware is only on the SD card; it is never permanently transferred to the RPi board. When you boot a RPi it is using the firmware that is in the .IMG file that was flashed to the SF card. So an old image might not work on a newer RPi.
You said that Raspbx DID work. Go back to trying that.
A rough check that the image file has been written OK is to look at the resulting SD card in Windows. It should appear as a drive of size about 60 Mbyte and containing about a dozen files.

How to I recover the possibly corrupt SD card? I guess that's the issue. I have no display and ethernet port when connected to working router has no light.

Use Win32DiskImager to write Raspbx to the SD. If Win32DiskImager can 'see' the card in your computer you shouldn't need to format the card beforehand but it never does any harm. If you do use SDFormatter, it is a good idea to select the option "Size Adjustment".

I opened the wooden case for my RPi and noticed that it had only Power LED on (red) and none of the other lights were ON. I changed the Power Supply to the one with 850mA output, still the same.
I am now trying with NOOBS, let's see where it goes.

The other lights only come on when the Raspberry Pi ethernet port is connected to a router. My Raspberry Pi is connected via wifi and the red LED is the only one on. I think this is normal for you since your router doesn't detect your Raspberry Pi.
Edit:
The above is not totally correct. The 5th led (green) flashes for a fraction of a second approximately every 6 to 20 seconds when the Pi is idle. During a re-boot it flashes constantly.
