[Thinkpad] TP600: spacebar not firing

All of a sudden my spacebar isn't working properly. I'm a touch
typist and usually rap the spacebar with my thumb at a point
roughly due north of the right red "mouse" button. But as of
today, that doesn't work about 75% of the time!

I have to reach over and hit it south of the trackpoint. And hit
it sharply. When I do that it works fine.

I'm wondering if there's a bad (physical) connection or if there's
dust/crumbs built up in there. Can I life the spacebar the way we
do on desktop keyboard, or is there a special way to do this? No
compressed air here where I'm visiting, but if I get one would a
blow job be enough to fix the spacebar?

Thanks!
