I've received 10k before for a TATL flight in BE. The screen had a small crack and was not calibrated ... this was from the purser on the flight though, not via DL.com.

Was this coach and/or EC or in BE? I assume you were GM at the time. Ex post compensation tends to depend on elite status while on board compensation packets are different for coach versus BE/FC.

Business load is always low on Dub flights. Which is great because I have never missed an upgrade using my 4/6 Certs in at least 50 segments.
Have been almost tempted to go in coach during the summer season as I would bound as a PM to also get an OP/UP!! However haven't risked it, as knowing my luck the plane would be empty!!

Status / History of Complaints
1. Hope you reported it to FA so s/he can report to Captain so it can be reported for maintenance in due course.
2. What you get will depend on your status and your history of complaints (DL tracks this stuff and tends to start tapering down what it hands out as the # of minor complaints rises).

another compensation question ...
Sorry in advance.
I was scheduled to fly from STI through JFK to DTW Sunday (DL550/3292).
The incoming flight from JFK-STI was delayed 4 hours (mechanical), so my STI-JFK flight was also delayed, meaning I missed the connection in JFK, and got into DTW the next day, 14 hours late.
DL put me in the Doubletree and gave me $18 in food vouchers.
Is there some mandatory compensation I am entitled to?
