The screws in the bottom part of the laptops have fallen out. What do I do about this? I'm fairly sure that I should just take it too a local electronic fixing store. But I am unsure how much that would cost. Also I went to home advisor and it said that the job would cost about 300 dollar's and that seemed unreasonable, how much would this really cost?
Is this a good question?

The first question is how did the screws came out in the first place? Must be a story there.
Yes the quoted price is ridiculous!
Here is one possible ASUS parts supplier for your laptop
They sell a screw set for 15GBP . But shop around if you like.
You will have to experiment a bit. Don't force any screw in. Be very gentle. The correct size should fit easily.
One solution is loctite. Loctite threadlockers for screws and bolts come in various strengths and colours, including low-strength purple (222), medium-strength blue (243), and high-strength red (263, 271).
I would suggest the low-strength purple (222) which will hold it in place but be not too hard to unscrew.

I think it may be an asus problem. My screws have ALSO fallen out. may be a quality control thing.
Same for me, I unscrewed them to install an aditional ssd. The original screws had some kind of rasin/glew to hold them tight. But once I screw them back they keep getting loose.

My screws also fell off on ASUS vivobook TP412U.
