The requirment for equipment (NCAA) is that two visible shot clocks, one at each end of the court, are mandatory. But the rule also provides "an alternate timing device shall be available when a visible shot clock malfunctions."

Any device that the referee deems reliable and fair to both teams is OK. When I have had problems with shot clock displays, I bring the coaches together, explain how we will proceed, and that has always worked.

Some schools have back-up displays. I was at a gym a couple of weeks ago that had the back-up displays in use (they sat on the floor instead of the usual ones that are mounted atop the backboards) but the game management knew the regular displays were broken before the game started.
