The fan exhaust fan has stopped or is clogged. Take the back cover off and you will see it on the lower left side near the lamp. A couple screws and the fan is removed: Manufacturer   Sony Part Number 8-835-860-11 Description MOTOR, DC SFF21C/C-N   List $26.77 in stock here http://www.andrewselectronics.com/welcome.aspx

This appears to be an issue with the fan. If you want to attempt to fix it yourself then try the tutorial on this forum post:
