Tech support told me to try the fan on another S3 to make sure it wasn't the board. I did that and now they are shipping me out another fan, I don't have to return the original fan. Thanks for the help!
I would do what he says I just did and just found this post but i also knew they had US support.

one of my S3 fans totally died. 0 RPM. on the fan it says model number JDH1238B I had a 3 pin 2000 RPM fan but won't fit because pins are larger and 4 pin. Any advise for me to fix or buy? Send it back to China or cut the connector?
