How did you check it ? A microcontroller may require an initialisation signal from another part of the system.
That board looks like a simple display and IR receiver board so may send / receive data from another part of the system. Looking at the pinouts, there appears to be STBY (standby ?) A, B, SEL, DATA and CLK (which would suggest a communication between this board and another board), +5v and GND.
Have you put a scope on the oscillator to see if you are getting the frequency specified on the side ?
