Hitachi 150-3 Problem Starting

Hello all,
I have a problem with my Hitachi 150-3 year 1998. I bought this a few months ago and have had several problems with the digger just not starting. It will work well for a few days but then stop working, very frustrating!

I was working on the digger and there was a large thud on the ground, and then the digger slowly shut off. The button that looks like a terminator seems to be on all the time, I think that it is called the automatic speed reset [I have attached a picture]. I reset it once by taking off the batteries. It happened again but the battery thing didn't work this time. The engine will try to turn over, but it seems that this button is stopping my stepper motor from selecting a gear.
That button turns on, but won't this time for some reason. Once the light goes off, it will start.

Does anyone have any ideas, much appreciated and I hope you are all staying safe!
