SMC, PRAM, NVRAM Resets help!

[Ryjobe36]

I have followed the Apple Instructions to resetting the SMC, PRAM, and NVRAM and none of the function as the descriptions say e.g.: this image below says “press and hold the power button for 10 seconds then release” “the press the power button to turn on” however when I do this the Mac just turns on right away. Same with the “Hold Ctrl/Opt/shift wait 7seconds press and hold power for 7 more seconds, release and then turn the machine on” style. The machine just turns on as soon as I hit the power button.

So what am I doing wrong? Why isn’t this working? Or is it working, it’s just not fixing my issue (1 of 2 fans is running @ 7000rpms after a battery and fan replacement (separate thread on this forum))?

Any other advice for these types of resets?
Thanks in advance!

I know. Even everymac doesn’t seem to mention the T1 in the 2017 models for some reason.

What’s worse is not 1 of the 4 Apple Techs I spent 8 total hours for trying to trouble shoot, fix and ulitmatly set up and execute an apple repair mentioned it once! They even helped me try and try it again 😂
