iPod New HDD

[Fonzijr1964]

I want to put the new 120GB HDD in my iPod (see sig). It is the right thickness. With the same connectors. Will it work

I know how to do it but i am concerned about the firmware

when you plug it in to your computer with the new HDD it should just pop up with that message that tells you to restore it...

thats how it works with the ipod mini anyways...

well u c i messaged iFixit and they told me i needed to replace much more but that makes no sense

Edit: Just got another reply, they said the logic board could not accept that HDD.

the ifixit rep insists the logic board will not handle the HDD size. Is this true?

i don't see the harm in experimenting. what's the worst that can happen besides you having downgrading back to normal. besides breaking something inside, which i doubt you would do.

It says nothing about the 120GB hdd because it is too old

If the EXPERTS tell you it won't work. Do you think you can figure it out?
