One of the pins in the USB data cable that was supplied with my K750i has pushed down in to the plug and no longer makes contact when plugged in. I'm going to call the supplier in the morning.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with the supplied cable?

Not with my present phone, thank God, but I used to have a data cable that I used for T210/T630. One of the pins also got pushed in. I gently pulled it back up very delicately with a pair of tweezers & got it to work again. But I only tried that because it was beyond warranty period by then. (Besides, it wasn't a branded cable.) But in your case I think having it changed by your supplier instead is the best option.

Yes - my w800i cable did this to me yesterday. Couldn't get the pin up, so I'm going to send it back for warranty replacement.

My usb one is fine but the ones for my head set are missing 4 pins. I dont think theyre pushed in theyre just come off or something. Damn pins are so fragile.

Well I cant remember what it was like when I bought it. Its got 4 little notches or wateva that looks like pins should have been there. So your head has pins in it does it?

it does have pins, except for the last four notches. they're not missing, those correspond to terminals that have nothing to do with the headset function, but have a purpose in the data transfer cable. here's a pic of the end of my headset:
