Try installing NOOBS again.
Or, flash the SD card with Raspbian using Etcher. A good tutorial is here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ras ... ta-slash-7
Want to make your own Raspbian image?
  • Hard way: Mess with confusing terminal commands.
  • Easy way: Let Pi-Power-Tools do it all for you!
Boot your image in a VM, Flash from the Internet at top speed, Mount (to drop files in), Edit partitions, Shrink/Expand, Repair, and more. Enjoy! :)

Also... are you using a proper Power Supply? Consider that RPI4 should be powered with a 5V - 3A power supply, so if you are using a common Smartphone power supply not able to provide enought amperage your RPI could not boot...

What make/model etc. of monitor? Have you (can you) enable SSH and a network connection by adding the appropriate files to the uSDHC card? What do the (red) PoWeR and (green) ACTivity leds do when you power up the P4B?
Trev.
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
