Madison is a college town and a commuter town at the same time. Drew University and the FDU Florham campus bring in student laptops, the train station sends people into the city every morning, and plenty of residents work from home offices on Main Street side streets.
Every one of those computers gets the same treatment at Dave's Computers in Somerville. I diagnose it myself, text you a flat price, and fix it only after you approve. Your machine stays in my shop the whole time.
From downtown Madison to the Giralda Farms end of town and the Chatham border, I-287 gets you here fast.
What We Fix
Computer Repair Services for Madison NJ: Home & Business
Drop-off repair for Madison households, plus IT support for local businesses.
For Homeowners
Residential repair for 07940 & Morris County
Windows PC Repair
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.
File & Photo Recovery
Hard drives, SSDs, USB drives and SD cards from computers that failed. Assessed with a $75 diagnostic, recovery starting at $199.
Student laptops with cracked screens and dying batteries, especially near finals. Desktops that need an SSD to keep up. Macs that need a battery or more storage. I'll tell you whether a repair makes sense before you spend anything beyond the diagnostic.
Students: back up your work before you drop off if you can. If you can't because the laptop won't start, tell me what files matter and I'll protect them.

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...

Will you come to my house in Madison?
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 Madison can book on-site project work and remote support.

Do you fix laptops for Drew and FDU students?
Yes. Screens, batteries, slow laptops and Macs. Bring the charger, and I'll text a flat quote after the diagnostic.
