Dive my backup/ bottum timer and tables for tec dives.
For rec dives I would use a second computer set on air for the first day, then continue like normal. If that is not practical I would consider doing trust me dives as long as I am comfortable with my buddy. This is a last resort.

What would I do...
Shrug... If my meridian died, it only means I lost the backup bottom timer.
I use vplanner to plan dives and carry a backup depth gauge (the meridian) in addition to my Zen.
Really this is more of a question of how do you plan dives than anything else. I personally do not fly the computer, but many do. If you do, it's wise to have a backup computer on you at all times.
I also carry a set of tables in my wet notes as a backup.
My 2 cents only. Ymmv

If you're me, you dive anyway and end up in a chamber. I borrowed a computer that was close to me (within about 5 feet) on the first dive, and one that I was planning to buy so I'd read the manual.
Details in sig.

In the event of a computer malfunction or issue; no problem. My backup computer (VEO 180) would become my primary. If not an option, rent a computer after a long surface interval.
Don't forget your tables.

I wanted to answer this before reading other's answers to ensure I wasn't letting myself get influenced.
I'd download some tables (no, I don't travel with them) and calculate my residual based on square profiles. I'd use the max depth of the working computers for the two dives completed so far, and plan the remainder that day within limits. Then I'd start over with a rental computer the following day.
Sure, it'll mean short dives that day. But I'll still be diving the next day.
