The official NASA story is that there was a checklist problem that kept the rendezvous radar on during descent, but in the movie "In the Shadow of the Moon" Buzz clearly states that since he was "Dr. Rendezvous", he kept it on in case of an abort.

How did buzz get back from the moon?

After they re-entered the LM, the hatch was closed and sealed. While preparing for the liftoff from the lunar surface, Armstrong and Aldrin discovered that in their bulky spacesuits, they had broken the ignition switch for the ascent engine. The ascent engine had no switch to fire. Using part of a pen, they pushed the circuit breaker in to activate the launch sequence. Aldrin still possesses the pen which they used to do this. (Aldrin has it kept in a glass case for all to see). The lunar module then continued to its rendezvous and docked with Columbia, the command and service module, and returned to Earth. The command module splashed down in the Pacific ocean and the Apollo 11 crew was picked up by the USS Hornet (CV-12).

What Apollo mission had computer malfunctions?

Apollo 11 had issues during lunar descent, with the computer being overloaded due to both rendezvous and landing radar being left on and providing data. The computer threw 1202 and 1201 alarms. Though this wasn't a malfunction.Apollo 12 also experienced issues when the spacecraft was hit by lightening a few seconds after launch. The entire computer reset and they had to make an emergency adjustment to avoid an abort.Apollo 13, of course, experienced a catastrophic failure. Though again, this was not based on a computer malfunction.The other missions were mostly seamless. So it's hard to say exactly which mission had a malfunction of the computer.
