I have a macbook pro (15-inch 2017 model) with a T1 security chip and a touchbar. How do I reset the SMC? There's no power button (well, there is, but it's also the fingerprint reader)
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Use the Finger-Print Reader:
Your Mac has the T2 Chip. The finger print reader is, indeed, the power button. So, that is what you hold down when resetting the SMC. See Here: Image of What to Press

Try the Other Method to Reset the SMC:
Perform the other method.
But remember: the touchbar (far-right) is the power button.
The T1 and T2 chips are for Macs that have the touchbar.
Report back if the SMC reset fixes this.
