We are using a 89c52 cpu in a machine and we are having horrible static issues. When the user touches the machine and discharges static to it it resets the machine. We have tried a lot of grounding throughout the machine and still no luck . It only seems to happen when the humidity drops low ( less then 30 percent or so )and the problem ' fixes ' itself when it gets more humid and less static in the air. Any help would be aprrecaited . Is there anything that can be done now ,after the intitial enginerring has been done , to modify this board to help out ?

Yes , We have had luck with spraying "Static Guard" in an 3 foot by 3 foot area in front of the machine but most of the people who buy these machines from us are annoyed at this fix , they want something more permenent that doesnt require any interaction on thier part.

Static Guard wears off... you need to fix the electronics, not the surroundings.
