    Hi nrsjbor,

    The screen & digitizer on the 3rd & 4th generation iPods are TOTALLY DIFFERENT !!. The 4th Gen are combined, and are very hard to change (have to remove main circuit board to get to plugs).
    The 3rd Gen are much easier to work on as the LCD screen & Digitizer are seperate units, but the battery mounting plate will have to be unscrewed & lifted to get the screen ribbon cable unpluged.

    Hope this helps !!
