Note 3 (N 9005) notification swipe not working

[rampond]

Hi,
I am not able to access Note 3 notification panel by swiping down. This problem started off one fine morning. Tried everything including Factory resetting. Nothing seems to correct it. Please help

Welcome to Android Central! You did a full factory reset? It makes me think there might be a hardware problem, like with your screen/digitizer. Do you have other issues with the touchscreen near the top?
