Hopewell to Somerville: a pretty 18-mile drive up Route 206.
Take Route 518 east toward Blawenburg, head north to Route 206, and follow 206 up through Hillsborough into Somerville. No highways, no tolls, about 30 minutes.
Hopewell is at the Mercer County end of our service area. All services and rates are on the New Jersey computer repair page, and Princeton customers use the same route.
Computer Repair for Hopewell NJ, Borough and Township
Hopewell has a lot of people who work from home on farms, in old houses and at the end of long driveways, where a dead computer can mean a real gap in the week. There's no repair bench in town, so the question is who is worth the drive.
At Dave's Computers in Somerville, I handle every repair myself. You drop the machine off, I diagnose it, and you get a flat quote by text. Nothing is shipped out, and nothing is done without your approval.
Whether you're on Broad Street in the borough, out toward Titusville and Washington Crossing, or up near the Sourland Mountain Preserve, Route 206 gets you here without touching a highway.
What We Fix

Drop-off repair for Hopewell households, plus IT support for local businesses.
For Homeowners
Residential repair for 08525 & Mercer County

Blue screens, failed updates, noisy fans, bad power supplies and broken laptop screens on Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS and Acer machines.
Apple Mac Service
MacBook Air and Pro battery and screen replacement, iMac storage upgrades, and Macs that won't boot. Diagnosed on my bench, never mailed out.
Data Recovery for Hopewell
Clicking hard drives, SSDs that disappeared, USB and SD cards that won't read. Recovery done in-house after a $75 diagnostic.
Old houses and rural power are hard on electronics. Storms, brownouts and power blips show up on my bench as dead power supplies, corrupted Windows installs and drives that stopped mid-write. I'll find what failed and tell you what else might have been hit.
If a failed drive holds business records or family photos, stop using it and bring it in. The hard drive data recovery page explains what happens next.

Power-related failures often need known-good parts and hours of testing to pin down. That happens on the bench, not in a living room. Here's why in-shop repair works better.

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...
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...
"As a Broker of over 40 years in New Jersey I rely on my computer help", which is the artery to my success and business. Thank goodness Dave's is here for me with the messes I get into with scammers, land grabbers and just uneccesary things that I pick up. The most effective virus program have ever...
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...
What Hopewell residents ask before they make the drive.
How far is it from Hopewell to your shop?
About 18 miles and 30 minutes: Route 518 east, north to Route 206, and up 206 into Somerville. We're at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876.
Will you come to my house in Hopewell?
For residential customers, no. Every home repair is done on the Somerville bench, where I have parts and test equipment on hand. Curbside drop-off makes it easy: call from the lot and Dave carries it in. Here's why we work that way.
Businesses in Hopewell can book on-site project work and remote support.
Is there a fee just to look at my computer?
Yes, a diagnostic: $75 for standard brands like Dell, HP and Lenovo, $149 for custom-built and boutique PCs. Either way it's credited toward the work if you approve the flat quote that follows.
My computer died during a storm. Can you tell what failed?
Yes. Power surges can take out a power supply, a drive, or a board. I test each part to find what failed and quote the repair. If the data is at risk, I'll tell you before anything else is done.
Do you serve Pennington and Titusville too?
Yes. Customers from Pennington, Titusville and all of Hopewell Township drop off with us. Most take Route 206 north.
How long will my computer be at the shop?
Plan on 48 to 72 hours for most repairs. If you can't wait, rush service is available for an extra $100.
Which brands do you work on?
Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI and custom-built PCs, plus MacBook, iMac and Mac mini. I don't service Surface devices or Chromebooks.
What are your hours?
Mon–Fri 10–5, Sat 9–2, closed Sunday. Walk-ins are welcome during those hours; no appointment needed.
Who actually works on my computer?
I do. Dave's Computers has one technician, the same one since 2011, and every computer stays in the Somerville shop until you pick it up.
