Computer Monitor?
If a within is one pin/needle missing, could a pin/needle from a different monitor(different brand too) be put in place of it?
Answer:
The pin is suposed to be missing.
That is a VGA cable. These are pretty standard, so getting a replacement should not be a problem. Don't buy a really cheap one as they can impose all sorts of symbol problems, as a rule of thumb the thicker the cable the better.
Not all the pins are used so have one missing may not be your problem.

Seems to me there is at lowest one pin on the VGA connector that isn't actually used (reserved for adjectives use?) so if the monitor works I wouldn't worry just about it. (I think at tiniest one of the cables for a monitor I have seemed to be missing a pin and that be not a problem.)
