MacBook Pro 2011 Command Prompt booting

Hi Everyone,

I have just recently had my 15" MBP repaired by the logic board being replaced. Now for some reason my MBP boots and shutdowns with the command prompt screen showing. How do i disable it from doing that so i can get it back to normal booting and shutting down?

A Safe Mode boot deletes system caches that may help.



Top left corner of your screen click the Apple > Shut Down.


After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.


Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.


Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.



Once you are in Safe Mode, go back to the Apple menu. From the drop down menu click: Restart
