I can't offer anything about the screen.

But are you sure it is the fan which starts up and won't stop? If the  
noise is a faint background whirring noise it probably is the hard  
drive. I was confused about this for ages, thinking the fan was  
always running but eventually I concluded it was the hard drive. One  
way to check if the fan is running is dangle a piece of cotton thread  
over the fan exhaust outlet at the right hand side of the case below  
the ON-OFF button and see if the thread is blown by force of the fan  
exhaust.

I have a TiPB 867 OS X 10.4.1
