The only fix is to get to the cooling fan and be sure it is free to spin (not blocked). If it is free to spin, then the fan is bad and must be replaced. The computer is smart enough not to turn on if there is not a viable cooling fan. Post back for specific instructions if you want to try to do it yourself. Not an easy job.
