I would try first to get an accurate temperature measure for the CPU
(69° C is a bit high, even for a laptop, but not critical -that depends
on the microprocessor type-). Are you able to get these values from
BIOS? Just to make a comparison...
'sensors-detect' gets:
Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C
or SMBus adapter that is not supported. See
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3 for further information.
Did you read the suggested steps?

Mmm, does not look good.
You can try to load the latest SystemRescueCD (a livecd) which has the
latest version for "lm-sensors" package. If running "sensors-detect"
there either works, then... dunno :-/
BIOS shows nothing of either fan or temperature.
Ouch :-(
The only temperature indicators are
hugo@debian:~$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 66000
hugo@debian:~$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp 50000
It is not clear what these refer to.
Thermal zones are "points" defined to "ring the bell" (getting an
alarm and provide an event → i.e., activating or speeding up the fan)
to avoid overheating, but provided that your ACPI detection is not
very accurate, I won't take that values very seriously.
'fancontrol' is shown as part of the package lm-sensors.
Yes :-(
