No, as I understand it, "echo -n 0 >/proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state" should start the fan and "echo -n 3 >/proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state" should stop it. But, actually, on my system the "3" doesn't stop the fan but makes it turn slower (and less noisy); "0" turns it back to full speed. (I have a Gericom 1st Supersonic M6-T laptop.) > What does the "Error transitioning device [FAN] to D3" mean? Don't know for sure, sorry, but it seems that the system fails to remove the power to the fan.
