Here’s a guide on how to reset the SMC and the PRAM on your MBP. Hopefully it will work for you. If not, maybe @danj can assist you better if you provide more detail.

Thank you Aaron. Yes, I attempted that, but the systems always boots up during the procedure, actually within 2-3 seconds of attempting any of the 2 alternatives
Okay, hopefully Dan will be able to help you further. Sorry about that!

Press Shift + control + option button with power at the same time and release after 60 seconds altogether and continuously watch the light on the magsafe it will change color of led for a short duration of time indicates SMC reset has been successfully done

Hello, and thank you for the kind reply.
This may work on older models, not the new 2018 with the T2 chip.
Also, And these models do not have a MagSafe.
Is your battery detachable or not or with touch ID
Systems with a T2 chip are very different than the older systems. Some settings are just not resettable. Depending on what the issue is we may need to use a different way.
Yes, I realise that systems with T2 are different, and therefore requiring a different procedure for the reset. I followed the instructions on apple page for systems with T2, that Aaron also posted. but this is not working. the system simply boots up 2-3 seconds when attempting any of the 2 alternatives. That does not sound right

Aaron, I did this but it won’t restart. It was having issues charging. It just had a blinking red dead battery in the middle of the screen even though it was plugged in. I reset the SMC... and it never turned on and now doesn’t respond at all, I don’t even have the blinking battery anymore.

@bpress - You really need to create a fresh question here with all of your systems details.
