    My 2010 Prius ac compressor isn't working. It is not turning on. Any thoughts?

    Probably the system has a small leak, the refrigerant leaked out, and the AC low pressure switch has activated so that the compressor will not turn on.

    You might want to start by checking the fuse. Then go from there.
