Is anyone familiar with a HP 8530 laptop?

In general, or for this model or HP family in particular, how does one 
control the fan speed?

To date:

[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/acpi/fan/FANG/state
status:                  off
[root@localhost ~]# fancontrol status
Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...
Error: Can't read configuration file


I definitely can feel the fan running.  I have removed and replaced the 
keyboard to get access to the fan so that I could use compressed dusting 
gas to remove any dust accumulations (a relatively simple procedure for 
this particular model), and have observed some reduction in running 
temperature as reported by gkrellm.  Currently, CPUZ is 63 C with a CPU 
composite load average of approximately 40 percent.

Is there an OS environment (currently, SL 6x) or, for those familiar 
with these HP machines, a BIOS, mechanism for forcing the fan to 
maximum?  How does one "fix" /etc/fancontrol, or is this not 
feasible/useful?
