Battery drain after screen replacement

Battery drain after screen replacement I recently replaced my iPhone 5s digitizer/screen and everything works fine but now it seems like the battery drains almost 2x as fast as it did before the screen was changed. I can't figure out what exactly could be wrong and reopened the phone to see if there as anything loose or disconnected but everything looks fine and functions correctly.

"Paul it sounds like you may have a short with the battery somewhere. You should open your phone back up and inspect to make sure all connections are good and make sure there isn't a short somewhere or possibly an area touching. If you find out anything else please let us know and we will assist as soon as possible

Check that the brightness didn't get turned up.

Haven't resolved the issue as of yet. But I do agree that some sort of short is very likely. Especially with all the other typical battery drain issues having been tested(brightness, bluetooth, background app refresh, Etc... Not convinced it isn't the replacement screen though. If there was a minor short in the cabling it could still cause current drain even if the battery cables are fine. Parasitic drain could likely come from many parts of the phone if there was a short within a given component.

Feel for heat on the board---this may help localize a short.
