will not power up

I have a powerwave tower (mac clone) and it will not power up (it holds power and then loses it, no boot thought, just a couple of seconds of power). Could it be the battery? where is the battery located? the power supply? Any advice would be appreciated

Might be the battery, but more likely another problem.
The battery should be fairly obvious; it's about half the length of a double-A and usually purple, red, or white. It might be in a black rectangular holder.
The power supply is the big greyish box that has the huge fan and power cords coming out of it :)
