MacBook Pro won't power up after SMC reset

Hello. I tried to reset the SMC on my 2019 MacBook Pro (Intel). I held down the shift/control/option keys while holding on the power button. It restarted then powered down again. Now it won't restart. Anything I can do or do I need to take it in for repair? Thanks

MacBook Pro 15″, 10.11

You may have entered DFU Mode if you performed the process incorrectly. If so, then either force a power off by holding down the power button for 10 seconds, or perform the SMC Reset correctly. Make sure to read the T2 section of the SMC Reset article @leroydouglas linked. The SMC Reset procedure has changed with the 2018 - 2020 Intel Mac, plus the same exact keys are used to enter DFU Mode, but in a slightly different manner.
