I have similar problem with my MacBook Pro 2015 a few days ago, I tried all the SMC reseting options and none of them work. Shortly I noticed that it was the Macbook hinges that was malfunctioning. The hinges was making the MacBook act as if it was closed while it was open, thereby disabling the keyboard and the trackpad from working which makes it unable to turn the macbook ON. So you only get to turn it on once in a while if the hinges goes back to normal... I advice you pay attention to the hnges also as it could cause your MacBook to turn on once in a while due to its malfunctioning.
