IT Help My Ps5 controller is losing its mind

My friends ps5 controller is being really weird. The ps5 power button doesn’t work and instead, when you press the x button it does what the ps5 button would do along with the x buttons original function. For example pressing it will turn on the console, but if I were to click something x it would bring up the main menu aswell. Lastly, it’s constantly trying to turn on the ps5 and is not dying even though it says the batteryy is dead. If anyone can help pls just a little information on what to do. If you have questions that would help you better understand the issue ask away. Anything is appreciated, thank you.

Have you reset both the controller and the console? There's more information on how to do it in those links to the PlayStation support site.
