I am the proud owner of a 1600sw and a multilink adapter. My multilink adapter has died it powers up but does not display an image. It is weird I can actually hear a noise coming from the unit.
Does any one know where I can get it repaired. I checked with SGI and they had no ideas.
 
You are bringing back so fond memories. I remember selling the 1600SW when the Dell 2001FP came out. Such a downgrade.

Finding a multilink adapter was not the easiest or the cheapest. I doubt there is any repair facilities out there. I would say get on ebay and see what you can get.

If it was me, I'd open up the multilink and look for something obvious to repair (highly doubt it).

Sell the monitor on eBay and feel morose and then get another monitor.
 
I have been checking ebay. I guess I will look for a pci Number 9 card with the correct lvds connector and just use it as a secondary display.
