> there is a loud squeaking noise i am guessing from the hinges ...

 

Obviously, the hinges need to provide some "friction" to keep it open at the angle that you have chosen.

 

If you were to "lubricate" the hinges, then there may be insufficient friction to keep it stable.

 

At the moment, you seem to have too much friction, so that the hinge "grabs" when it is worked, and produces the noise.

 

A qualified computer technician may be able to lubricate, but not over-lubricate, the hinges.
