--explanation--

The First Conditional is used to talk about possible situations in the present or future. It is formed with if + Present Simple (for the condition) and will + base verb (for the result). For example:

If you forget to save your work, you will lose your progress. - Not saving will cause you to lose what you've done.

In this dialogue, If the power cable isn't connected securely is the condition, and the computer won't turn on is the result of that condition not being met.
