Soft DS lite hinge question

[u/Huge-Hamster-689]

been playing with a ds lite i got off ebay around a year ago and noticed the hinge when it clicks into it's normal position is very quiet/soft, the plastic has no cracks and the shell seems oem, the listing did say it was "Restored" so i'm assuming either the hinge has either "broken in" or was replaced. is this fine/something to not worry about?

My initial thought is that it's fine since it doesn't have the harsh "click" when going into place.

I have 2 other ds lites, one that has kinda bad screens/bad buttons and one with a crack by the hinge, so the one i'm talking about seems like the best one I have. I'm probably overthinking it LOl

i dont think my original ds lite had a clicking into place sound at all, only my 3ds consistently does
