While I agree that {qay' De'wI'wIj} works, I understand it to mean "My
computer is a problem (to me or to someone)." I have been known to tell an
acquaintance {Qapbe' De'wI'wIj} for "My computer is out of order," i.e. HAS a
problem.
Although I have not used it personally, {Duy' De'wI'wIj} seems to me to be
okay. "My computer is defective."
