AzN_DJ Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi everyone. Our school has just bought a new computer lab of iMacs. Problem is, because they are all made of metal, a lot of static electricity is being produced, and entering the room guarantees being shocked (either by trying to log in or by peers shocking as a joke). Any ideas on how this problem can be fixed, apart from plastic coating everything? By the way, the floor is carpet.

AzN_DJ Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 What would you ground? The Keyboards, the actual iMac, or both? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/128603-solving-a-static-electricity-problem/#findComment-914510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 This is caused due to faulty grounding. Check the grounding of your plug points.
