It would help to know the exact model of your laptop. You can get this information by entering your serial number here:

The SMC Reset does not apply to an M1 Mac.


If you have an Intel Mac, then the SMC Reset is performed slightly different if you have a 2018+ laptop with a T2 security chip (different Shift key and timings):
