So when I open and close my screen it squeaks a ton. I'm about to get a new Macbook Pro, but I am giving this one to my mom and want to fix this slight problem before giving it to her. Can I do this myself or would I need to get someone to? Seems like just a simple hinge problem on the Macbook.
Got a tip for us?

Squeaking screen on Blackbook

My Blackbook's screen squeaked when I moved it when it was hot. One day I threw my bag containing my Blackbook a bit too hard. The next day I noticed the squeaking was gone, but the screen was slightly twisted. Twisted as in when closed, it does align up correctly with the bottom half. I don't care about that as now it doesn't squeak anymore.
Now I'm not saying go and drop it around. I have no idea what causes the squeaking, nor do I know how mine stopped.

This is a pretty common issue with the MacBook/Air/Pro. I had the same problem as you, even just a slight movement made the laptop creak. The problem got worse so I took it into an Apple Store and they replaced the screen same day.
I had the screen replaced about 2 or 3 months ago and have had no issues with creaking/squeaking hinges since.
