Why when playing baseball , the defense players dive toward the ball instead of running…what would cause this and flickering the teams, schedules. It’s doing it on its own, very aggravating.

Hi, my son dropped his Ps vita into water and I did dry immediately. Then it won’t turn on. I opened it and used charger to connect , the indicator is orange . I pressed the power button , and turned on when connected charger. I charged for battery for a hour. But it won’t turn on when I disconnected the charger. Is there any problem or damage for motherboard or ?? Please give me the advise or any idea ? Thank you
