When connecting to external the monitor seems to detect something but then says no HDMI connection - so seems as though some sign of signal from HDMI connector but definitely not booting. NO chime. THis does SMC reset. Hard to tell if it is PRAM resetting.
Turning on:
Power button, 2 seconds later = fan spin, about 12 seconds after power-up fan pauses for about 3 seconds, then spins again for about 10 seconds and pauses for 3 and repeats.

Reflash the firmware?

With PLT_RESET_L low, power on sequence is not completed.
What about PM_PCH_PWROK and PM_PCH_SYS_PWOK?
Also check CPU_VCCST_PWRGD.

Check diode mode to ground at PLT_RESET_L.
Remove U2071, R2071/81 and check if still low voltage.
If yes, you may have a PCH issue.

I hadn't noticed that behaviour before but indeed when measuring CPU_VR_READY on a 3476 board will often turn off after removing the probe (and sometimes when measuring). Not sure why and if it's an indication of anything. I can still often measure 1.05V when touching with the probe initially.
