Are you asking about the Power button on the TV or the Power button on the remote control unit for the TV?
If it is the TV power button then see the answer above.
If it is the TV remote control unit power button have you checked that the batteries are still OK by replacing them with fresh ones?
If the batteries are OK test that the remote is working by using either a digital camera or the camera in a mobile phone.
Here’s how to do this:
Turn on the camera and then point the end of the remote that you normally point towards the TV, towards the camera lens so that you see it in the LCD screen of the camera or phone.
Press and hold any button (not the Power button at this stage) and check if you see a flashing light at the end of the remote when viewing it in the screen.
''If you don’t see a flashing light'' try other buttons on the remote or test using a known working remote control to prove that you’re doing it correctly.
If none of the buttons on the TV remote show that they’re working you have a faulty remote control unit.
''If you do see a light'', press the Power button on the remote and check that you can see the light.
''If you can’t see a light'' when pressing the Power button then the most likely reason is that the button’s circuitboard mating contact surface is dirty or the conductive coating on the underside of the button has worn off with use. You’ll have to open the remote and try and gently clean the mating contact or if that doesn’t work use some conductive paint or glue to try and repair the button’s contact surface.
