Hey there!

Regarding the dead pixels, I suggest you contact your seller and get a replacement since it's still under warranty.

When it comes to ML, I suggest you only use the current stable release (ML v2.3) rather than release candidates (RC) due to more stability and bugs solved (there's a reason why it's called current stable release ). It's available from the Download page here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/download

There is a method for clearing dead pixels on some Canon models that you might find online. I believe that doing a manual sensor cleaning through the menu (as if you were physically cleaning it) can somehow fix dead pixels. Is it crazy or unheard of to have 2 dead pixels on a brand new camera? No. Would I personally return the camera? Probably. In normal use this will have no real effect. It is easy enough to fix those 2 pixels in post if you need to print or post at full res but almost any use is going to involve downsampling.

As for the menu you are correct. There are less tabs in 2.3 than in previous versions but the same number of options.

Forgot to mention:
As Francis said, dead pixels are quite easy to fix in post, and to my knowledge if you shoot in raw and process the photos in Lightroom (or Adobe Camera RAW) they'll be removed automatically but this only works on raw files. You can also see if your camera has the ability to remove them itself. It's called "dust delete data".

like quote before i going to donate u guys in moon.day..i love to have that full version even is less stable ..
abotue sensor cleaning..i use this Half Auto Method ... and later some small swab dry thing ...
that method with open shuter not fix dead points on sensor..it make it  looks liitle more bright ..still dots stay on ..
i use later some small swab.. i touche gently places where i  sean that dead places...
 :DD ... i killed one Dead Pixel   ...one is gone. im not sure for how long..or maybe its depend of my camera setings and and and or or..ect ect..
i dont realy like to doing this stuff with swab again..cus i know how optic is sensitive..i use telescope and analogs alot years and once i was try to clean Telescope Main  mirror... LOL with Washing Liquid  O_o ... bad..very bad..
i i tuche just little.. and i killd protection on mirror..

i doing alot things  in graphic 2D ... this red nasty dots are not Extream Problem. cus i can remove it in Photoshop in 0.000000001 second ... but my motto of making photos is like :...`` Make photo and make it looks perfect with OUT EDITING or Extra software ``...

so with this dot is loosing little sense..

i will try post full resolution by uploading my  shots to DeviantArt ..yes this is best choice..DA dont change quality or resolution..

,,,one more thing..

after cleaning with swab i was lost one red dot but i pick one more White one :/// ... i knwo why cus dot changing places  on photos and still is smae shape.. looks like small swab left some tihng in side .. not problem this is .eazy to remove  it s .. not eazy as  dead pixels.

You should still have warranty. You have at least a year or two according to law, depending your country. What worries me is that some shops / sellers might see this as a minor thing and not replace your camera, but at the very least they should have it looked at.

ML shouldn't be a problem since it's not something permanent (it's just a firmware add-on). Just uninstall it before sending it using this simple procedure (don't just delete the files from the card!): http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/install#uninstalling_ml_from_the_camera

well..i knwo what u mean..i simple delete files ( all ).my way looks like this :

1.remove card fomr Canon .
2. put card to reader
3.Format Card BUT.. but select Original Deflaut Buffer size for Card u use in ..laptop or PC card reader
4.put card to camera and format it with Canon

when u make these steps u dont need remove battery and u never pick situation like.. u said..camera will not stuck when u tunrit on..

ok guys..i just upload two photos..

one is before swab cleaning...in first i use Francis Method with manul cleaning ..

this is shot :
