Bread board not working? - General Electronics - Arduino Forum

I'm trying to do the projects in the book to make sure my knowledge on it is good enough before my class. I did the first one with the LED with the switch but it's not working? I've checked with the diagram and it's 1:1. maybe my breadboard is defective? as for the resistor I couldn't find the specific color-coded one so I went with a higher one anyways but not even dim light shows (Yes I've tried turning it on and off again)
