Are these messages on display or on serial port?  If on display,
attach a serial terminal and look for more messages.  Because once the
DCON is frozen, you won't see any display updates.

The screen does this in the event that the video output from the
processor stops.

With the DCON frozen, the screen should not do this.  I think the DCON
has been unfrozen, but the video output has stopped.

Attach serial terminal and enquire as to the state of processes
responsible for video output.  Usually the X server.  Check the X
server logs.

Alternatively, if serial terminal cannot be used (e.g. no cable),
build the image with a preloaded SSH key, and a preselected network.

Then once the wireless LED shows network connection, use SSH to log in
and debug through that channel.
