Possible Damage to X-E3 from Dummy Battery

I may have damaged my X-E3 and am hoping for a reset or other option to fix it.

I was setting up a dummy battery to use the camera as a webcam.  The camera would not turn on when I inserted the dummy battery and then powered up the camera.  I disconnected the dummy battery, reinserted a freshly-charged OEM W-126 and the camera came on and the battery icon was blinking red and low capacity.  I turned the camera off and on, reset the menu, and no joy.

I took the battery out of the ill-X-E3 and put it in another X-E3 and the battery registered as full capacity.  The camera shoots and does not die, it just seems the battery indicator is not happy.

Any ideas or does this need to go see our father who art in Edison NJ (Fujifilm Camera Repair)?

Thanks

Scott
