Default Repaired Sensation with new motherboard draining battery :( any ideas

I just had my Sensation repaired by HTC after it became completely unresponsive. They apparently replaced the motherboard.

Since I got it back...I've rooted, s-off, SuperCID..but stayed on the GB stock ROM as I am scared flashing the new firmware/ROM will kill the phone again unless we can confirm it's unrelated.

However, my battery is draining like crazy since I got this new phone back. I've wipe battery data and when through maybe 3-4 cycles now....but the phone will only last maybe 4 hours with very little use....Today when I turned it off to airplane mode and left in bag...with 60% left...it was completely drained still after maybe 6 hours (not sure since I put away my phone and found it turned off by then). In the past...if I put my Sensation to airplane it could last a long time.

Could the drain be related to the hardware they replaced? Or is it just software? I have similar settings I used to have when I can last at least most of the day..but now it maybe last for 4 hours if lucky...with very little use.

Would appreciate some input

How did you manage to root and s-off it?

I got my sensation back with a new mobo but can't root or s-off it

You could have a corrupt media file on your SD card...Try running better battery stats to see what is causing partial wake locks.
