Exactly which model Mini 10 do you have? 1010, 1011, 1012 or 1018? What is the nature of the overheating problem? There's not much that's user-replaceable on these.

Why do you say it's overheating? 'Cause it feels hot in your lap? Or is it shutting down suddenly?

If lap heat is your only worry, just get a plastic cutting board to use as a lap desk.

You could always get some compressed air and spray out the ducting. Its possible it is just clogged up with dust and stopping airflow. Its also worth just checking the fan is still going round. If not that might be the part to be replaced.

the Minis do NOT have fans

I use this:
