Next step would be to check for a clogged burner port. Barring that unless you’re pretty handy it’s probably time to call the pros. If you’re handy you may be able to replace the solenoid on your own, it’s not terribly difficult but it’s a very important piece of your fireplace.

Wouldn't a non-working thermopile have shut off the gas and the pilot light before he tried to turn the fireplace on?
