How much is a used compaq laptop worth?

How much is a used compaq laptop worth?
If I sell my compaq V2000 presario, widescreen and get it fixed (replace rubbed off volume signs, put new sticker on back etc.), how much is it worth? And what if it has Adobe Photoshop installed along with Antivirus protection etc.? It's pretty fast but it's one year old and there are better laptops now. Its almost as if it were just bought from the store but with Norton Antivirus, All microsoft applications, adobe photoshop and highspeed internet.

a lot of money

That is too open ended of a question to give a good answer. For the most part computers do not hold value very well. The tech is moving so fast that they are out of date in 6 months - as far as being on leading edge. Anyway, would need more details about the machine to give a more precise answer.

You can check with a pawn shop, but they will probably offer you less than it's worth.
4 :
The value of laptop goes down by around 75% in the first year due to the battery life, obsolescence etc. The depreciation thereafter will depend on the general reduction in prices of new products available then in addition to around 10% for age.
5 :
I can get a pretty good idea of value from eBay...the WorldWide Garage Sale! Make sure you are comparing apples to apples (bad comparison!) Check recently sold and auctions about to end. Don't bother with listings that have no bids...they are usually dreaming. A Compac can hold its own next to its sister the HP, or a basic Dell. Bottom line--it's worth what someone will pay you for it!

At booting there should be an option that shows PRESS F2.Try pressing it and then reconfigure the password settings there.

No. VGA is not compatible with RCA composite. Check here for the correct cable: PCTVCables.com

A vga to RCA hookup would give a crappy picture even if you could find such a cable. How about vga to vga. You should have it on the tv and the laptop. Hook it up like a computer to a monitor. You may have to go into your display setting in your control panel and turn on display 2.

My Compaq laptop is randomly shutting down?

My Compaq laptop is randomly shutting down?
I have been having problems with my laptop randomly shutting down. It's a Compaq model CQ60-423DX. It has always gotten really hot, and I am wondering if it isn't overheating. I haven't even had it for a year, but yeah. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong and what I can do about it?

yes it maybe that your computer is overheating and is shutting down to help prevent it from destroying its self. You may want to set it to a lower setting or you may want to keep it properly ventilated. Try keeping the vent for it open.
2 :
Do you hear the fans come on at all? If a fan isn't coming on it will cause overheating. Also, even if they are coming on if one is clogged with dust it won't do enough to cool everything down. Flip over your laptop and look at the fan on the bottom, make sure it's clean.
