Hi - for better or worse I just bought a Platinum 32" TV off Trademe and the remote has stopped working.  I tried resetting the remote from a Youtube video where I pressed every button for 3 seconds... but no joy. But I since found the IR receiver board in the TV was bumped out of place and the receiver was aiming backwards - I fixed it but still no remote joy.
I'm just going to replace it with a universal remote but I cannot find any code info for this brand.  Platinum TV's were sold by Target in Aus and I think by Noel Lemming here. There's an 0800 89 85 80 number on the back panel but this is disconnected. It's Oriental Pacific Ltd.

Looking at the infra-red with a phone camera, one button push makes it flashes multiple times for about 30 seconds before stopping so I assume some of the remote itself is working but all my other remotes are just a 1 sec burst.

Model is NLP32Z2LED
Main Board model OP36-4  45L
Also has a sticker on the internal frame CX315DLEDM 
Made 11/2017

Questions I have - 
* Does the 30 second flashing indicate a faulty remote or something else?
* Can I reset the remote in any way?
* Can I retrain it?
* Platinum TV's are obviously just a rebranded Chinese made model-  does anyone have any idea what a useable remote code would be, or what the original brand was/is?

Thanks for any help! 

Cheers, Jeff

Edit: hmm, seems mostly out of stock, but the link to the manual shows that platinum tv's are code 846.
I would probably just buy one of those $10 universal remotes and just start working through the codes. Might take you a while. You should at least get the volume/channel working. Setup menu options could be more difficult.
I have seen cheap universal remotes at many of those Chinese 'dollar' shop places.

Actually, does the remote look like the one in this bundle?

If its like the veon tvs (probably is since there are so few makers of the no brand stuff they rebadge) then it worked as some walmart brand on a universal remote for a friend.
