AORUS thermal service, GPU pad replacement, AERO screen repair — if GIGABYTE made it, we fix it.
GIGABYTE AORUS laptops run extremely hot by design — GPU thermal pads and CPU paste are the most critical maintenance item. We replace both with premium-grade materials.

From Bridgewater to Warren — customers across Somerset County trust Dave's with their AORUS and AERO machines.
"GIGABYTE AORUS 15 was barely hitting 50% GPU utilization — thermal throttling constantly. Dave's replaced the GPU thermal pads and re-pasted the CPU. Full GPU utilization restored. This is the repair AORUS owners need to know about."
"AERO 15 OLED screen cracked — nightmare to find the right panel. Dave's sourced it and installed it in two days. Colors look exactly as they should. Worth the repair on a machine this capable."
"GIGABYTE G5 stopped turning on completely after a storm. Dave's diagnosed surge damage to the power input circuit — not a dead motherboard as I feared. Fixed in 48 hours for a reasonable price. Very impressed."

One shop on Route 206 in Somerville. No shipping your AORUS to a service center — drop it off and pick it up locally.
GIGABYTE doesn't have a local service center in NJ — shipping is the only warranty option, and that's weeks of waiting. Our Somerville shop is centrally located, under 20 minutes for most Somerset County customers, and we turn most GIGABYTE repairs in 24–48 hours.
Drop it off, we call you with a diagnosis, you approve the repair. Your AORUS stays in our shop the whole time.
GIGABYTE AORUS laptops have some of the highest TDP ratings in the consumer gaming laptop market — and NJ summers amplify their already aggressive thermal output. The GPU thermal pads on AORUS 15 and 17 models are a well-documented failure point, typically degrading within 18–24 months under regular gaming use. We see machines that have capped their GPU at minimum clocks because of failed pads.
AORUS laptops draw 200W–280W — making their power delivery circuits more vulnerable to NJ's summer lightning surges than lower-power laptops. We've successfully repaired multiple AORUS and AERO machines with surge-damaged power input circuits that other shops dismissed as unfixable.
GIGABYTE AORUS machines are enthusiast-level gaming laptops being used as primary computers by NJ gamers and creators across Somerset County. Running them as daily drivers — gaming, creative work, and WFH — puts enormous thermal stress on components designed for gaming sessions, not 12-hour daily operation.
The GIGABYTE AERO line is popular with NJ video editors, architects, and designers who need GPU horsepower in a professional form factor. AERO OLED screens are exceptional — and expensive to replace if cracked. We handle OLED panel replacements on AERO models with care.
We run a full diagnostic before recommending anything — including GPU stress testing on AORUS machines to catch throttling before it causes permanent damage.

Yes — this is the most common AORUS repair we do. Failed GPU thermal pads and dried CPU paste are almost always the cause. A proper re-paste and pad replacement restores full GPU utilization. From $120, often done same-day.
Not necessarily. We see surge-damaged GIGABYTE machines regularly — often the damage is limited to the power input circuit, not the full motherboard. Bring it in for the $75 diagnostic before assuming total loss.
Most thermal service and screen replacements done within 24–48 hours. Board-level repairs may take longer — we give you a realistic timeline at drop-off.
Yes — we handle OLED panel replacements on AERO models. They're more expensive than standard IPS replacements, but we source quality panels and install them correctly. Pricing after the $75 diagnostic.
At $1,200–$2,500+ replacement cost, most AORUS repairs are clearly worth it. We'll give you an honest assessment after the diagnostic — including if replacement is the smarter financial choice.
