I bought an Antec Laptop cooler at Goodwill, I know now why, one fan doesn't work, ideas/fixes?

Not sure the model nor fan size, it's radius is about 2".

I took it apart and swapped fan headers to test if it was the circuit board but it is not that, one of the fans is definitely not working. If I were to contact Antec, you think they might send a new fan for free? I doubt it, but some companies do... I could modify it to accept a regular case fan that I have but the fans on this only have 2 headers not 3 or 4 and also the style of fan is different. One being a regular prop fan and the other being more of a rotor with louvers attached to the end... I bought the thing for $2.99 but am determined to fix it... what kind of fan does it take? maybe I can find one on amazon or eBay or some place...
