SOURCE: The volume button doesn't work
I had same problem, just fixed it by a little hack. The volume up switch is broken.
1. Remove accessory door on bottom.
2. Remove all screws on back.
3. Open back cover.
Looking at the exposed board, there are 2 volume switches (back to back). Directly next the switches are four contacts: the upper 2 are for volume down, the lower 2 are for volume up.
4. Place the battery pack on the board and hold it down.
5. Press the power button to turn on the unit.
6. Use a small wire to jump the volume up contacts multiple times to change the volume to maximum (or desired level).
7. (Optional) Remove the volume buttons and throw away the rubber cushions to prevent the volume from changing.
8. Replace everything back in place.

This will give you the PARENT SETTINGS menu.
You will need to start them from scratch to choose a new pet. It is sad but at current it is the only way to choose a new pet.
