Wow that's a surprise and kinda confuses me, now I'm thinking it must be a locked up RTC and not the Arduino, still worth swapping if you can though.
I noticed in your video you've made some translations, anything else you change in the code. :)
This is how it works and why I'm confused.
Every 3 seconds all the sensors are read, if the controller thinks the display is running it will then send the data to the display. Because you still get temp updates on display the controller is aware the display is turned on otherwise you would get no data, this is what I was thinking at first but it passes. The strange thing is if the temperatures are sent to display the current time has to go as well as it's all part of the that code. Right after it sends the time it sends a code if the controller is connected to the web to turn the globe icon green under the time which you get. So that means when it sends the time with temperatures it's always sending the same time over and over as that's what the controller is reading from the RTC. I think its still finds the RTC, if it didn't you should get year 2038 or 2000.
I can't understand how the communication plug turns red under time though as a code goes with the internet check.
If you can do the following we can see what's going on.
In the display sketch find line 1810 and add a blank line, here add the following.
Serial.print("Serial: ");
Serial.println(var);
then upload to display. After uploading open the serial monitor in Arduino IDE and in bottom right corner change the baud rate to 115200. After doing that should start seeing data appear in the serial monitor. Every 3 seconds you'll see the temperatures coming in from the controller along with some codes for the icons. Send me what you get when everything is working good and then leave the serial monitor open until the time freezes again and send me the data you get at that point.
