What is the construction “have something done” implies.

If the construction is used in past tense as follows:

I had a computer fixed. What could i do?

Is it possible it implies that the repair job is done and the computer is ok now? My computer is now fixed. How can I fix this?

We have asked anybody to do it, do it

me. This might be a problem I need to pay a small company to do it?

“I have my computer fixed” means that your computer went from being broken, to being fixed, and that someone else carried out the fix on your instruction.

Without any other information, there is a strong implication that your computer is currently working. If your computer was broken in the first place, then it is possible that it will

eventually break again.
