    Well do you have an SD card installed in the LCD with a sliced (GCODE) file on there for it to print?

    Oh, it also needs the GCODE FILE to NOT be using a long filename -- it needs to be in the 8.3 format (XXXXXXXX.GC or something similar, all uppercase).

    Then the SD card reader is likely defective -- or the RAMPS board is. You need to confirm that the wiring to the RAMPS is correct, getting one of the cables reversed could cause this sort of issue.

    If you feel confident the LCD is good (perhaps swap it onto another printer that is working and verify it is good) then you need to look at replacing the RAMPS and/or Arduino.
