upgrade hard drive from 15GB to 40GB

upgrade hard drive from 15GB to 40GB
Can I upgrade the hard drive in my iPod 3rd generation (model A1040) with 15GB to 40GB? Do I need to replace the back cover or anything else?

answers:

ddo, the 3rd Generation iPods can use any of the 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40GB Toshiba pin type 1.8" drives that end in 004, such as MK2004GAL. The 30 and 40GB drives require deeper back plates. Hope this helps, good luck.
