They have ESD protection in both the board processor and an antistatic film in between the case and the pcb.

If they had it in the processor wouldn’t this not have happened? I thought the film specifically protected non-protected processors

It’s ESD protection not immunity. A large enough shock to any electrical component will cause damage.

Dunno how grounding works, but I always touch another metal object. Then the metal legs of my table

An antistatic film is quite the patch instead of a real fix The board processor having ESD protection is definitely not enough from my experience There should atleast be a good number of ESD suppression diodes scattered around the board as well as some sort of grounding which from my knowledge is pretty much missing.
