Error message "iPad needs to cool down before use it!"

I have an iPad 4 that everytime I use it, for like 10 to 30min, it gets the message “iPad needs to cool down before use it”, even when it’s absolutelly cool! Any tip to fix it? Thanks

The only reasonable attempt to fix it would be a DFU restore, after backing up data. There are no user replaceable thermal sensors on an iPad, therefore either it’s a software glitch you can get fixed by the restore or some temperature sensing component is going bad, but that needs microsoldering skills and tools.
