Sorry to be pessimist but they're not gonna tell you anything unless you
are an OEM.  I've studied how these corporations act, they won't even
tell you what 3rd party vendors they use unless you carve apart their
machines and run questionable diagnostics against their software.

Good luck though, you'll need it.  :-(
