Use of "no fault" (passive, accidental?) SE

Hello,

Still a bit confused on passive SE, and have a couple questions: (1) Do "no fault", "accidental" and "passive" SE all refer to the same thing? And (2) Would the correct Spanish translation for "Yesterday I fixed his computer, and he has already broken it" be "Ayer le arreglé la computadora (el ordenador) y ya se lo/le ha roto”. If correct, should I use “lo” (for “it”, the computer) or “le” as indirect object for “to him” (?). Thank you for your input and clarification.

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the "accidental" reflexive (se) with an indirect object pronoun "
