I think the system temperature sensor is faulty in my TS-451. It's misreporting the temperature as 127°C, causing the unit to shutdown shortly after booting up.

Unit is out of warranty and is prohibitively expensive to get repaired via official channels.

I don't have any experience in electronics, but I am pretty competent at navigating linux. Would anyone be able to help with any of the following?

1) Locate the temperature reporting software/driver and modify it to report a sane value
2) Prevent the unit from shutting down because of a high system temperature
3) Prevent the unit from shutting down at all
4) Locate the sensor hardware and repair/replace it myself
