Low Network Signal After Screen Swap



I have a European SIII LTE running on the Virgin Media (EE) network.
I recently swapped the cracked digitizer for a new original Samsung replacement one inc frame and screen.
I tried to use an old i9300 screen first but without success as the mobo has a different layout and some of the connections did not sit right.
Anyway, the phone pre-swap was on the original android version (4.1?) and is now (thanks to Kies!) on 4.4.4.
Since fitting my old mobo and other transferrable components to the new digitizer frame, my network bar is generally sitting at one bar with the odd surge and then drop back to no or little signal. I also noticed that the device is slightly hotter than normal at the base of the phone but then again I have been using it for longer periods than normal as I was reinstalling my software and data etc.
Device status shows typical values of -110 dBm and asu hovering around 2 to 4.
I have checked the internal antennae cable connection and all seems ok.
I tried the antennae from the i9300 handset and that was the same. I was very careful removing the old i9305 antennae and it is not twisted or bent and is tucked neatly into the channel.

Is there something I need to check internally? Can it be something to do with the firmware update?
All other aspects of the phone are ok. It is just the unreliable mobile network connection which is frustrating me :(
