Toyota Corolla smart key locks and unlocks door but won't start engine

Car: Toyota Corolla
Variant: Corolla S
Model Year: 2015
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Just bought this car and came with only one key, a chip key but no buttons to push.
Everything was fine till I found another key with the buttons but only turns the engine over without starting? This key does lock and unlock the doors.
I've tried a few of the programming tips on line but still not starting.
Please help

Could not find and blown fuses.
My first key works fine to start the car but only operates as a key, not a smart key.
Is there anything else I can try?

Ask the previous owner if it ever worked ? If you've tried reprogramming and the videos on you tube as you say , not much more I can think of .
