Sorry to hear that. I don't think there is anything else you could try unless there is something in CHDK that would allow manual focus with the screen off. https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/CHDK

It might be worth leaving the screen on but dimming it to it's lowest setting to see how long the battery lasts. It may not be too bad compared to what you've been getting if AF has been on all the time without you knowing. Disabling sounds and image stabilisation(if you haven't already) would also help.
