The safe way is to return it and get a new one. But you can also disconnect the power supply from everything, get a good flashlight or go outside when its sunny and use a piece of plastic or wood .(It HAS TO BE INSULATING, never use anything made of metal or other conductive materials for this!)

For example chopsticks work well. Please let it sit for a couple of minutes before you do anything so you at least have a chance that the capacitors inside can discharge. Then try to bend the cable away from the fan. Please also make sure that you remove your tool before testing the power supply.
