The Original Bug:
There is a "known error" that causes your problem - 2 bugs cancel each other out: the 1st fails to update an internal counter after the total payout is read from Eprom - the 2nd fails to write the total payout to Eprom so it is always read as zero. If a fault causes a value to somehow be written to the Eprom then the unit initialises as needing to pay some coins!
To clear the eprom you can run the E2Reset application from the SDK/Examples folder - this should remove the error.
Getting your card working again.:
1st, I don't recognize firmware 1.3.4 - is this a mis-type?
To reload the firmware "from scratch" onto a card you need to create a reprogramming cable - instructions are at: http://aardvark.eu.com/Private/ProgrammingLead.pdf and you need a .a37 firmware image, which you can get from: http://aardvark.eu.com/Private/MilanV4-1-8-19.a37 (You will probably need to right click and "save as")
