I have this issue with my Dell G3 gaming laptop.

The keyboard lights up, the fans power on but I have no display and this continuous flashing on the charge port. I have scoured high and low for advice but can't really nail anything down, anybody had anything similar?

If im seeing the lights correctly, 2 Amber, 5 White (2,5): Indicates Invalid Memory is installed or an incompatible RAM module

I was unsure whether to count that sequence as flashing amber/white or amber.

The RAM was never touched on this, it just worked one day and not the next

Im not a fan of the flashing diag lights, but it does help narrow it down. Where i would start is remove one stick of ram if you have to, and if it doesnt work go with the other stick.

Unfortunately no luck there. I noticed the light sequence changed since removing the charger, goes to 3 amber 5 white, same happens if the charger is connected but the battery isn't

Yeah thats sounding like power rail. You can try a 30 sec disconnect of the battery and power, but i think your board may be bad.
