DJM Computer Repair — Local services in Wilmington

I’m not a heavy laptop user—lots of typing, some streaming, no gaming. Therefore, my computer service needs are also modest. But when something does come up (and something always will, because it's a laptop), I take it to DJM. - I first met Damian two years ago over a battery charging problem that had me worried I had broken the whole machine. My first review of his prompt response and great service is below. (BTW, in that review, the other “potential cause” my laptop had previously had was “me sitting on it.”) - This new issue was a bit more involved--the laptop was slowing down, with increasingly frequent warnings that my C: drive was running out of free space. Damian‘s simple suggestion was a new, larger drive, and he helped me right-size and right-price the replacement part based on my needs. Then he completed the work and had my machine ready for pickup in two days, including the waiting time for the ordered part to arrive. The total cost was maybe twenty percent of what I originally paid for the laptop five years ago. – So, once again, my use is moderate, and I don’t need much. But when I need something, DJM’s my place.

[First review ca. 2021] I found Damian of DJM Computer Repair friendly, efficient, and very effective. – Damian’s first response to my attempt to contact him through his website came within eight business hours; and in it, he proposed a solution for my laptop's battery charging problem that turned out to be the correct one. And when I asked him to consider another potential cause my laptop had previously had, he invited me to come by his shop. In five minutes there, he conducted a simple and obvious test that confirmed his initial solution conclusively. - After months of living with that charging problem, its solution turned out to be a few text messages with Damian, a ten-minute shop visit, and the purchase of a used battery charger he was able to provide--couldn't have been simpler. I should have called him a...

After four hours on the phone and getting absolutely no help from Costco or HP Support, I gave up. HP Support said my screen issue was my fault, that I had dropped my laptop (I hadn't) and Costco was not going do a thing for me even though my laptop was still under warranty. So I declined the $280 charged (plus shipping to and from) for HP to repair it and searched online and found Damian. He saw instantly that my little sliding camera cover had cracked the screen--so it was, indeed, my fault. But while HP would have had it for several weeks and I would have, as I said, had to pay shipping, Damian fixed it within a week and I got off at $5 less, for which I was supremely happy. ESPECIALLY that I was not giving my money to HP. So I brought my other old laptop to Damian afterward--slow, clunky, glitchy--and he installed a new solid state hard drive, cleaned everything up, and I now feel like I have a brand new laptop! Great to have two that work so well, and I am so pleased with the great service and wonderful good nature of this talented technician! Thank...

Look no further. DMJ Computer Repair is the real deal. After my long-time computer guy retired, I was forced to locate another one. I have been through four different shops in Newark, and all of them leave much to be desired. Then I found DMJ Computer Repair. Problem solved. Damien is the real deal. He is trustworthy and reliable. He provided quick and efficient quality service in contrast to the others, who I found to be seriously untrustworthy and incompetent. Damien is the epitome of what a computer repair man should be. Go see for yourself.

Update 2025: What on earth!? I took my LG laptop in after not one, but two LG support techs 100% failed miserably to get to the bottom of the issue with my device. They had no clue. I watched Damien open the laptop, discover the issue within 60 seconds, and resolve this issue completely inside of 5 minutes! Hello!? Seriously, I don't see how anyone would regret hiring Damien to fix...
