Cooling fan not turning on
I just purchased this cooling mat and plugged it into my computer through the usb drive but it won't turn on. Both sides are in fully, but not even a breath of air.

There is a problem with the power supply cable that I have found in several of these. The wires break or short at the plug. You can purchase a replacement Multi-volt power supply from Walmart, set it for no more than 5 volts and plug it into the fan. It will work. I actually have mine set at 1.5 volts. Another problem with this could be that the USB port you are using is not coming on or has shorted out. Test the port with a thumb drive to make sure it still works. If it does then use the external power supply.
