How it's used
While literally meaning to fix a machine, this term is almost exclusively used for computers or electronic devices. It carries a sense of hands-on technical work, whether you are a professional or just helping a friend with their software issues. It is a common way to describe troubleshooting or hardware repair in a casual setting.
Examples
My computer is broken, do you know how to fix computers?
I've been fixing computers all day today, I'm so tired.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 修理, which is a formal term used for general repairs like furniture or appliances. Using 修理 for a computer sounds overly stiff and unnatural in daily conversation.
