Are you 100% sure the fan doesn't work, it could be going so fast that it looks like it is at a standstill.

if it's working, you will know it if you put your hand in front of it. it will feel cool as it is drawing the colder air in past your hand.

Make sure that all of the fan's wires are connected properly, it sounds like one may have been disconnected during transit.

try hitting it with a pick axe or sledge hammer that usually works

You know things are getting desperate when this happens lol.

Check that the fan cable is plugged into one of the CHA_FAN or PWR_FAN or OPT_FAN 4 pin plugs. Check your mobo manual to find out where these are located on your motherboard.

on this case they are connected straight to the psu using the 4 pin connector.
also seeing as the light is working but the fan is not, it seems the fan must be faulty, since there is only 1 wire for both. wouldnt know how to check though.
