I was trying to format HDD in my dv2175ea with motherboard 417035-001 and in the middle of the formating it colapsed and won't start again. It doesn't make any beeps on start. It shows a very grey screen but nothing else. I've tried to reset BIOS but it din't help.
Thanks a lot for your answer!!
According to my experiance its a gmch problem.

What do you mean by Format? An ACTUAL format?
Or do you mean you were doing a System Restore, or you were doing a Repair.
System Restore is through Windows.
Repair, is done by inserting either the Full Installation disk, (Like a full installation CD disk of Windows XP), or by inserting into your optical drive, the Restoration CD disk. Either disk when you run it, comes to an option of either doing a Fresh Install, or a Repair.
Formatting a harddrive, is Wiping the harddrive clean!
NO Operating System. No saved personal documents. No downloaded programs or applications.
Nada!
