It is very unlikely the meter has been "fried" as the overload is at most 32% 
(power)  and power levels so low (0.6mW)  there is no heating. The "overload 
is only at max EV anyway. The meter torque "overload" is at most 15 
0.000000e+00xtra, 
so if 15 0s sufficient to bend meter needle (very unlikely) the camera would 
have to be pointed at a very bright light source like snow with a fast lens. 

Don't worry be happy.
