    I'm trying to take apart a family member's Winbook J4 to do some dust cleanup. The notebook is practically a decade old and is really filthy. Thing is, I've removed every screw I can find and I can't easily pull anything apart. I do not want to break anything.. Can't find any documentation on this laptop. can someone please help me?

    sometimes screws are hidden under rubber sticks on the bottom part of the notebook, or inside RAM section.

    I agree, but I ll throw in some more help.
    You may have to take out the screws on the back of the laptop near the ports. They sometimes hold the shell of the laptop together.

    Also check in the optical drive bay and in the harddrive bay.

    It may have been a wiser decision finding a small air compressor, you could blow all of the dust out without removing a screw.
