What is a PRC? How do I get one for my Disklaver?

I solved the problem and the PRC resurrected!

I didn't noticed till now a small slide on the rear of the PRC, under the 
battery door. It's a sort of switch to connect the battery.
Moving it the PRC was able to boot.

Many thanks for all the suggestions (expecially the one from Mark Fontana to 
look for a "reset button", so I found the slide!).

PRC is still useful... even to command the metronome other than calibration and 
so on.
