It said I should install putty to log in. So I got a big mess of plumbing putty from the hardware store and smeared it on my laptop. Now my keyboard feels mushy and it keeps beeping and saying “thermal warning”. It’s July, I’m not wearing anything thermal.
The putty is also getting hard, do I have to re-apply it every day?
The putty should be thermal already, which will help cool your laptop as it gets hotter. If this doesn’t work, run the laptop under cold water. The plumbers putty will then be in its native environment.
