    compal is a ODM (original design manufacturer). They manufacture the notebook whether it be barebone or fully featured, and are normally rebranded as something else. This might be why its hard to find drivers, manual and info on it. If you work out which company buys that specific notebook model, you might have more luck with info from their site.

    Compal DCY30 came up with some hits....user manual:
    http://www.ciara-tech.com/pdf/manual/CY30UserManual.pdf

    General specification of the laptop are located here. If you want to find the exact specification of your laptop then use some of the programs like PC Wizard that are listed under Resource Monitors in the The Ever-Growing Free Windows Software List .

    As for drivers, try contacting Compal or finding the manufacturers of the components(for example if you have an intel wireless card, go to intel for the drivers)
