I recently changed the LCD display of my macbook air after it got broken and I was told at the apple authorised provider that there was liquid damage to my mac. Anyway, it was working fine prior to the change and thereafter until these random display of ‘are you sure you want to shut down’ then off it goes. The problem doesn’t crop up if I"m typing or using the trackpad. I took it back to get it fixed but was told to get a new mac. I ’m wondering if its the i/o board or logic board. Please somebody help

Do an SMC reset, which can sometimes fix random shut down problems. Run the Apple hardware test to see if it picks up any obvious hardware issues. Check out this article. If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

Have the same problem. Authorized Apple technicians told me the Mac needs a logic board replacement (not worth it). Waiting for further news.
