SMC sometimes gets into a latched state when a power sensor is not reporting or reporting the wrong voltage.
So your effort here is just clearing the latch and then the systems SMC just hits the problem again!
I would try running the onboard diagnostics to see if something pops. Depending on the version of macOS you have installed it may not work as Apple messed up and never fixed it! Buts it’s worth a try.
Restart your system and press the ***D*** key to enter.
