First why do you think the computer is bad? What's it doing?

Yeah I would think if the computer was bad you would get some kind of a code or there would be some major symptoms. I don't know of a way to really test it off hand other then getting the FSM and find the Ohm and Volt readings needed and state probing with a volt/ohm meter.

My uncle ordered a new computer for his 5.0L Mustang a while back and received one that was bad. The car wouldn't even run with the bad one in it.
