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!!

What Middlesex Borough & Nearby Residents Are Saying
Customers from Middlesex, Bound Brook, Dunellen, and across Somerset County. Here's what a few of them said.
★★★★★
"Came in from Middlesex Borough with a laptop that wouldn't power on at all. Dave's had it diagnosed the same morning, bad hard drive, and recovered every one of my files before replacing it. Price was completely fair. This is my go-to shop now."
★★★★★
"Was getting pop-up virus warnings that locked my browser. One visit to Dave's and it was completely cleaned out. They also caught a second problem I didn't even know about. Honest pricing, no runaround. Made the short drive from Bound Brook and it was well worth it."
★★★★★
"We run a small business in Dunellen and Dave's has been handling our laptops for over two years. Fast, communicative, and they never pad the bill. Exactly what you want in a local IT shop, and way better than shipping to some warehouse."

What We See · Middlesex Borough & Somerset County
Local Repair Patterns from the Middlesex & Bound Brook Area
After 15 years of repairs across Somerset County, we know what Middlesex Borough-area customers tend to bring in, and what usually causes it.
🏘️ Dense Borough = Hard-Worked Hardware
Middlesex Borough is a compact, working-class community where families rely on their computers daily for work, school, and everything in between. Laptops here tend to run long hours, get moved around constantly, and don't always get the maintenance they need. We see higher-than-average rates of hinge damage, keyboard failures, and battery degradation from Middlesex Borough ZIP 08846 customers, usually from machines that are 3–5 years old and well past their warranty.
📊 Sentinel-7 Finds Problems Before They Become Disasters
Every machine that comes through our door runs Sentinel-7. Dave's in-house stress diagnostic built over 15 years of real repairs. More than 30% of computers brought in for "running slow" have a hard drive that's already failing. Catching it before the full crash means your data is safe, recovery is simple, and the repair cost stays low. Middlesex Borough customers who come in early almost always avoid the worst-case outcome.
🦠 Scam Pop-Ups Are Hitting Somerset County Hard
New Jersey ranks in the top 10 states for cybercrime complaints and Somerset County is no exception. We've seen a consistent stream of Middlesex Borough residents come in with browser-locking pop-ups mimicking Microsoft or antivirus warnings: fake tech support scams designed to pressure you into calling a bogus number. One drop-off visit is almost always enough to fully clean it and close the door on repeat infections.
🔌 Power Jack Failures Are Common Here
One repair we see frequently from the Route 28 corridor, including Middlesex, Bound Brook, and Dunellen, is laptop power jack failure. It happens when charging cables are pulled at angles repeatedly over time, and it's a quick fix when caught before the solder point breaks completely. If your laptop only charges when you hold the cable a certain way, don't wait. Drop it off and we'll take a look during the $75 diagnostic.
Why Middlesex Borough Residents Choose Dave's
Eight minutes up Route 28. Over 15 years of repairs. Here's what that means for you.

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...

Computer Repair FAQs for Middlesex Borough, NJ
Straight answers to what Middlesex Borough customers ask us most.
Do you have a computer repair shop in Middlesex NJ?
No. We have one location at 75 N Bridge St in Somerville, NJ, about 8 minutes from Middlesex Borough via Route 28 West. We don't offer on-site or in-home service. Just walk in during business hours, no appointment needed, and we'll take it from there.
How much does computer repair cost for Middlesex Borough customers?
Same pricing no matter where you're coming from. Diagnostic is $75, credited toward your repair if you proceed. Screen replacement runs $180–$275 depending on the model. Virus removal starts at $149, data recovery starts at $199. Battery, keyboard, and SSD pricing varies by device. Stop in for a free estimate on those.
How long does a repair take?
Most repairs are completed in 1–3 business days. Virus removal and common hardware swaps are often same-day or next-day. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you drop off and call or text when it's ready.
My computer won't turn on. What do I do?
Bring it in. That's one of the most common and most diagnosable problems we see. It could be a failed hard drive, dead battery, bad power jack, or a motherboard issue. The $75 diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong before we charge anything for the repair itself.
Do you fix Macs as well as Windows computers?
Yes. All brands. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, Microsoft Surface, Apple MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and custom builds. Same flat-rate process for all of them: diagnostic, quote, your approval, then the repair.
Can you recover data from a failed hard drive?
In many cases yes. Data recovery starts at $199. The sooner you bring it in after a failure, the better your chances. We work on a no-data, no-charge basis, if we can't recover your files, you don't pay for the attempt.
Is my data safe while it's at your shop?
Your device never leaves our Somerville location. We don't subcontract repairs or ship to third-party centers. All work is done in-house by our own technicians. If a part needs to be ordered, your machine stays with us until everything's done.
My laptop only charges when I hold the cable a certain way. What's that?
Almost always a failing power jack: very common on laptops that get heavy daily use. It happens when the internal solder joint starts to break from repeated cable stress. It's fixable, usually at a reasonable cost, but it gets worse over time if ignored. Drop it off and we'll catch it in the diagnostic.
What if it's not worth repairing?
We'll tell you before you spend money on the fix. If the repair cost is close to what the machine is worth, we give you a straight recommendation. You pay the $75 diagnostic fee and leave with a clear picture, not a big bill on a machine that was already on the way out.
Is there a new customer discount?
Yes. New customers get $25 off labor on their first repair. Mention it when you drop off. Full terms in the coupon section below.
