help...small fan fell from about 5 feet to the ground and stopped working

medium size (6 inch diameter) fan fell from about 5 feet from my bed frame (was clipped to it) to the floor and now not working anymore

been up since 4am trying to figure it out

I can only access the battery, control area and the board for the controls

battery still delivers power

I know this because a light comes up when the fan is on

so light comes on but fan doesn't spin

can't access the front area (where rotor is)

it's tightly coupled with the fan blade

I watched several YouTubes and this rotor option is the only one I haven't tried because I can't access it

I'm pretty annoyed about this because being in Nigeria where I get close to no electricity (<1 hour) a day and there's no air flow into my room, this is how I make my nights manageable

I mean, it dies after a few hours but it's better than the hand fan I used to use and waking up drenched in sweat
