Apparatus (90) is disclosed for opening a camera of a type including a front cover part (12) and a back cover part (14), each of the front cover part and the back cover part having a top wall (34, 42) and a bottom wall (36, 44) and first and second opposite end walls (38, 40; 46, 48); and a plurality of cooperating fastener pairs extending between the cover parts. There may be a first cooperating fastener pair (54, 60) extending between the top walls; a second cooperating fastener pair (56, 62) extending between the bottom walls; a third cooperating fastener pair (72, 74, 75) extending between the first end walls; and a fourth cooperating fastener pair (72, 74, 76) extending between the second end walls. The apparatus may include a frame (92-100); a fixture (110, 114-122) supported on the frame for securing the camera during opening; tool members (152, 154; 166, 168; 184, 186) for releasing the fastener pairs; and means (144, 146) for bringing the tool members into engagement with the fastener pairs to cause the fastener pairs to release, so that the front cover part and the back cover part can be separated. A corresponding method is taught.
