Hard bricked Samsung

I hard bricked my phone meaning it doesn't even has a pulse. If I send it back to Samsung is there any way they can find out that it has been rooted?

I'm fairly sure they can tell if it's rooted. All they would have to do is just unbrick it and use a app that checks for root. BUT, they may just fix it and charge you if they find it's rooted. Worth a shot to send it in though.
 
I don't know how far Samsung will test it tbh but if it won't go into download mode then I'd say you have a pretty good chance
 
Will it matter? If warranty is over, they'll charge whether you're rooted or not. Being rooted doesn't mean they will not accept repairs, it just means they'll charge you.
