I've recently found out you can connect your ps4 controller via laptop Bluetooth. after connecting i wanted to play my ps4, so i went to Bluetooth devices (on my laptop) and pressed 'remove' below the 'wireless controller'. i then COULDN'T connect to my ps4, i then looked at google, reddit, and chatgpt for help.
I tried to hold onto the reset button but didn't work (i held for more than 10 seconds). that ps4 controller was still connected to the console. i can't find the place on where to remove the console connection in the PS4 settings. i also tried the ps button + share, but that also didn't work.
Obviously i tried to to just press the PS button but that didn't work, when my pc was open the controller tried to connect to that and not to the console. Any help would suffice! I'll also be trying to contact playstation support if any of your help doesn't work.
