I engaged "Dave's Computer" to build a new custom build Windows 11 computer as replacement for the Windows 10 machine. I presented my thoughts and needs to Dave about the new unit and he asked some basic questions as to my needs and want for the new unit. We touched on cost for the unit and I left...

All-in-One Desktop Repair in New Jersey
An all-in-one is a desktop built into the back of its screen, which is why most places that fix towers won't open one. I repair and upgrade HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer and MSI all-in-one computers at my shop in Somerville, NJ: repairs, RAM upgrades, SSD upgrades and setup. It's part of my desktop computer repair service for New Jersey. Drop it off at the office, no appointment needed.

All-in-One Problems I Fix
One box, so every problem looks like the whole computer died.
With a tower, a bad screen is a screen problem and a bad computer is a computer problem. An all-in-one hides both behind one piece of glass, so owners usually can't tell which half failed. That's what the diagnostic is for. The all-in-ones that reach my bench in New Jersey come in for the same handful of reasons:
| What you see | What it usually means for the visit |
|---|---|
| It won't turn on, or the light comes on and nothing else happens | A power, board or adapter fault. I test each and tell you which one it is. |
| It has become painfully slow | Most often an old hard drive and too little memory. This is the most common all-in-one visit, and usually the best value to fix. |
| The screen is black, dim, flickering or has lines, but you can hear it running | A display-side fault. Whether it's worth fixing depends on the model, and I give you that answer with one price. |
| The fan runs loud all day or it shuts itself off | All-in-ones are thin and run warm. Heat and dust problems are routine work here. |
| Windows won't load, loops, or shows a blue screen | Could be the drive, could be Windows. Your files are protected first either way. |
| Pop-ups, warnings, strange browser behavior | Handled under my virus removal service. |
Family photos on it? Tell me at the counter. If the drive is the problem, saving the files comes before the repair, and data recovery is done here in the shop.
Popular All-in-One Models I Work On

Don't see yours? Bring it anyway. If it's a Windows all-in-one from any brand, I'll look at it. The model number is on a label on the back or under the stand.
RAM Upgrades, SSD Upgrades and Setup
The three jobs that keep a good all-in-one in service for years longer.
| Service | What you get |
|---|---|
| RAM upgrade | More memory so the computer stops stalling with a few browser tabs, email and a video call open. I confirm what your exact model accepts before quoting. |
| SSD upgrade | The old hard drive replaced with a solid state drive, with Windows, programs and files carried over. This is the change people notice the second they press the power button. |
| Setup | A new all-in-one set up properly: updates, accounts, email, printer, protection, and your files moved from the old computer with my data transfer service. |
I supply the memory and the drive with the upgrade, matched to your model, with a manufacturer warranty on the parts. You don't have to shop for anything or guess what fits.
How the Service Works
Drop off, diagnose, one flat quote, repair and test.
1
Drop off the all-in-one
Bring the computer and its power adapter to 75 N Bridge St in Somerville, NJ. No appointment. Drop-off takes a few minutes and you leave with a ticket and a phone number.
Carry it with the screen facing your body or lay it screen-up on a blanket on the back seat.
2
Diagnostic
I find out which half failed, the computer or the display, and check the parts around it. The diagnostic is $75, credited toward the work when you approve it.
3
One flat quote
You get one number, parts and labor together, before any work starts. If the repair costs more than the computer is worth, you hear that instead, along with what I'd do in your position.
4
Repair and test
The work is done in the shop, then the all-in-one is run and tested on the bench before you're called for pickup.
What All-in-One Repair Costs
One diagnostic fee, one flat quote, and you approve it before anything else is charged.
| Item | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic | $75 | Credited toward the repair or upgrade when you approve the work. |
| The repair or upgrade | Quoted flat after the diagnostic | Parts and labor in one number, no hourly billing. Parts supplied by the shop with a manufacturer warranty. |
| Turnaround | Most jobs 24-48 hours | All-in-one parts are model-specific. A part that has to be ordered adds a few days, and you get the date up front. |
| Warranty | 30-90 days on labor | On most repairs. |
Figures as of this writing. How the quote step works: quote after diagnosis.
Why NJ Customers Bring All-in-Ones to Somerville
A local shop, one technician, flat pricing.
Dave's Computers is a one-technician shop in downtown Somerville, New Jersey, on the bench since 2011. I do the work myself, in the shop, and nothing is shipped out. Customers bring all-in-one computers from Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Bound Brook, Piscataway, Flemington, Princeton and across Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex and Mercer counties because a lot of repair counters turn all-in-ones away, and the ones that take them often mail them somewhere.
✓ A straight answer on whether it's worth it. All-in-ones are the one desktop where the repair can cost more than the machine. You'll know where yours stands before you spend more than the diagnostic.
Slow, dead, overheating or stuck on a black screen: bring the all-in-one and its power adapter to Somerville. $75 diagnostic, credited toward the repair or upgrade when you approve it.

I dropped off my laptop, and Dave gave me a clear overview of the problem (he had experienced similar issues on 3 others of the same model) and the cost. Communication was clear and helpful. Once he started the repairs, he kept me updated. I would absolutely use Dave again!!

I have been going to Dave's Computers for years because he always fixes my problems. I also use his anti-virus and it is as good as any, if not better, than others that I would have to pay much more for. If you're having problems, go to Dave's. He doesn't break the bank and he solves the problems.

Over the last decade or so, whenever I had a computer problem, I went to Dave. I recently had a very worrisome crash; the system failed to boot up. (I hadn't needed to use him for about 3 years.) I paid the "rush fee" on Saturday when dropping the machine off with the weekend agent. By Monday...

I had previously tried to build my own PC to no success. Even though right now it is really tough to get a PC built due to the price increases with RAM’s, GPU’s and other parts because of AI, I still really wanted to get one for myself. I came across Dave’s Computers online and went in for a...

All-in-One Computer Repair: Questions From NJ Customers
What people ask at the counter before handing one over.
Do you repair all-in-one desktop computers in NJ?
Yes. I repair HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI and other Windows all-in-one desktops at my shop in Somerville, New Jersey. It's a drop-off shop, no appointment needed. Apple iMacs are covered on my iMac repair page.
How much does all-in-one computer repair cost?
The diagnostic is $75 and it's credited toward the repair when you approve the work. After the diagnostic you get one flat quote, parts and labor together, before anything else is charged.
Can the RAM or drive in an all-in-one be upgraded?
On most models, yes. Many all-in-ones have memory slots and a drive bay or an M.2 slot, and some have the memory fixed to the board. I check your exact model at drop-off and tell you what it will take before you spend anything on parts. I supply the parts with the upgrade.
Can you replace a cracked or dead all-in-one screen?
It depends on the model. Some all-in-one panels are still available and worth replacing, and some cost more than the computer is worth. I look up your exact model after the diagnostic and give you a straight answer and one price.
Will I lose my files?
Most all-in-one repairs don't touch your files. If the drive itself is failing, I tell you before doing anything, and copying your files to a new drive or recovering them is work I do in the shop.
Is an old all-in-one worth fixing?
Often yes, when the screen is good. A slow all-in-one with a healthy screen usually comes back to life with an SSD and more memory, which costs far less than a new one. If it isn't worth fixing, I'll say so at the diagnostic.
How long does all-in-one repair take?
Most repairs and upgrades take 24 to 48 hours. All-in-one parts are model-specific, so a part that has to be ordered adds a few days. You get the date up front.
Do I need to bring anything with it?
Bring the all-in-one and its power adapter. Keyboard and mouse can stay home unless they're part of the problem. The original box is not needed, but carry it screen-side protected.
