Unfortunately, I rubbing CPU (intel 12 gen) contact pad using dry cloth(for some reasons ) .Some people say that rubbing dry clothes in CPU contact pad produce electro static discharge (ESD)...which is very harmful for CPU and PC..

so I'm very worried about this. what should I do now??
And once it is produced in cpu then what should be done??

If you're lucky, nothing was damaged and the computer will work just fine. But yes, it is a real issue. Especially components such as MOSFETS can be extremely sensitive to even the charge generated from, say, dragging your feet across the carpet or what have you. Always use electrostatic protection (grounding wrist strap, static dissipative floor mats, etc) if possible.

 

Welcome to AAC!

Rubbing any two materials can cause charge separation resulting in ESD.
If the CPU is in a working circuit and the entire PC is properly grounded to the electrical supply line then it should be safe.

Try to avoid or minimize rubbing dry clothes on your PC. If you need to clean the PC, dampen the cloth with window cleaner, optical glass cleaner, isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol or plain water.

1. By contact pads, do you mean the actual pads on an uninstalled microprocessor?
2. What type of material?
3. What was the relative humidity?

Unfortunately, damage from ESD might not show up immediately and reliability can still be affected. That's why it's best to handle ESD sensitive parts properly.

 

I am assuming that the TS is referring to the touch pad on a laptop computer.
