Abstract

Detecting electrostatic discharge (“ESD”) events in a computer system, includes: determining, from an ESD detector installed in the computer system, that an ESD event has occurred; identifying a component of the computer system within a predefined proximity to the ESD detector as possibly affected by the ESD event; and notifying a user of the computer system of the component possibly affected by the ESD event.
