hhmm too bad , can u return it for a new one?
i 'm guessing it's a bad contact , probably a broken contact or cable ..since u ask i guess u can't solder it urself? just asking ..
maybe if u allready have it for a while it's the led which is dieing , it's replacable but u need to do it urself then ...

No, its a sidefan, with 3 led's. red, green, blue, which emits light dircetly into the fan while its spinning, giving this blurr effect. While writing this, the blue led is not blinking anymore.

Could be that its just a little loose, and the vibration of the fan was/is messing it up.
