@pelzzz90 you are not telling us what kind "of writing" you see. Most likely will be a fan error. Use the Lenovo ThinkPad X200, X200s, X200si, X201, X201i, And X201s Hardware Maintenance Manual to work on your computer. Page 110 tells you how to remove the fan. Remember to always replace the thermal paste when you remove the heatsink with the fan. Your ThinkPad is aged enough that it would require a thermal paste replacement anyway :-)
