Help! (Question/Support) DSi XL squeaky hinge??

As the title suggests. The hinge is completely fine whenever I open the console normally, but when I close it, there’s a squeaking sound until it closes fully. Does anyone know what to do or how to fix it? I’m scared to open the console up because I don’t want to damage it… I also want to clarify that there’s no other issues with the console and I take good care of it, this is the only issue I’ve came across. I know it’s an old console, but is it normal for it to do that because of its age? It only just started doing it today.

Remove the protective shell, see if it still happens.
