does anybody know if the lm3914 and the lm2917 is static sensititive?????

I'd consider all IC's static sensitive, it's just a matter of how tolerate.
The most well-known ESD sensitive family are CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor), but there are many others now.
You really should use careful handling with all IC's.
Did something happen in particular in your case, that concerns you?
Or is this just a general question?
In general, a static discharge is capable of damaging circuits that are as small as
those found inside in integrated circuit.

no i just wanted to know thanks a lot though.
