The mechanic will have to pull the blades to check the spindles (at least I'm pretty sure that's what they said, its been five years since I was at the Safety Course so,...?) if an overspeed is suspected.

It often depends on how high the overspeed was,...and with no tach, well,...?

This is why trying to continue flying after total electrical failure is stupid. Sure you could pull it off with your Superman ears, but unless there was absolutely no place to land before your battery finally dies, you'll probably get fired upon your triumphant return.
