The ProScan PLCD3956A may not turn on with the remote or power button due to several reasons:

1. Remote Issues:
- The batteries may be dead or not properly installed. Remove and reinstall the batteries after holding the power button for about 2 seconds.
- Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote sensor on the TV and the remote control.

2. Power Indicator:
- Check the indicator light. If it's red, the TV is plugged in but not on. If it's green, the TV is on.

3. Power Source:
- The TV must be connected to the correct power source. Using the wrong power source may cause failure to turn on.
- Make sure the power cord is securely connected and not damaged.

4. Safety Shutoff:
- If the TV was unplugged due to a lightning storm or for a long period, reconnect it and try powering it on again.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, the TV may require service.

The ProScan PLCD3956A TV follows NEC’s universal remote code, meaning a universal remote may require specific codes to function correctly. If some buttons do not match, it could be due to differences in remote programming, incorrect codes, or an incompatible universal remote.
