20-pin PSU: Noticed a Missing Pin in the plug...

Recently, I have had some slight stability issues with my Biostar M7NCG 400 & Antec Aria; I thought that the CPU might needed some more voltage, so I checked the BIOS. However, when I was changing some settings in the BISO, I noticed something odd in the power rail information displays. Everything looked normal, except the +5V rail line - it was showing -66.00! 😱 So I immediately turned off the rig and unplugged the Aria PSU from the motherboard. I checked the 20-pin connector and noticed that one of the pin connector in the PSU 20-pin plug was missing. I checked the connector on the motherboard, but the missing pin isn't stuck on it anywhere; I'm not sure when or where it fell off (probably during last system clean out). Anyhow, is there anyway to fix it the plug?
 
Pin 18 is -5v. Some power supplies leave it off since it's not used. It's 3rd from the end on the side with the clip.
