Root Should I unroot?

I took my phone in because it wasn't charging and they said that they were unable to fix it. They told me next week they will call me to come in and get a replacement. Should I unroot my phone before I swap it for the replacement or does it really matter?

Moved to the all things root section;)

well i would unroot it just in case, but that is up to you. what is your hboot?
 
I've heard that they would service rooted phones even if they have issues like that but I would probably unroot anyway just to be on the safe side.

I agree best to not give them a reason to deny you or charge you more for the replacement.
 
I don't know what Hboot I'm on. I haven't messed with any root aspects of my phone in a long time and basically don't remember anything. I just check for updates in the app that came with my rom, Fresh. I took it in to have it serviced and the tech didn't say anything about the fact it was rooted, he was pretty cool. One of the techs at a store I went to told me to root it(it already was at the time) and suggested if I needed help doing it that he knew someone to root it for me for $20 or something.

Guess I'll unroot it just to be safe, I've done it before with help from this site, so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the advice guys.
