From what you said about not being able to hold it in your hands, I wonder if you left it during your break on a surface that blocked the fan holes?
Finally, was the camera operating from its own internal battery or an external battery? If through an external battery, what voltage was that battery?
I'm gonna check this fan, as you say. And about your question, I left the camera inside the carrying bag during my brake. And I was not using an external battery but shooting with the camera plugged to a 220W home outlet.
