Having trouble resetting smc and nvram on MacBook Pro 2017 model.

Hi, evyatar16, maybe I can help you.....

it used to be Command+Option+P+R but things have changed a bit, due to the new T2 chip Apple puts in.

here's how to do that---link..........

that should get you the smc reset.

the nvram (or pram zap) is the same. with the windows symbol on the keyboard taking the place of the Apple or command key, and alt key is the same as options. (link)

your login screenshot looks relatively ok. Macbook Pro's don't have a built in cd/dvd drive so that's it.

You can reset the NVRAM via Terminal (although you will still need to restart) just bring up a terminal window and type:

nvram -c

I think Apple Diagnostics Test would be helpful to know if there is a keyboard failure:

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Apple offers Keyboard Service Program for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.

Your Mac has a T2 chip, so you follow the direction in this article for a notebook computer with T2 chip.
