Must be step-down because ours is 240 volts.
thanks for the confirmation

Needless to say, it has to be a step down transformer because our country is using 240VAC standard (UK mains voltage) while that power adapter requires 100VAC (Japan mains voltage). I assume the power adapter comes/originates from Japan?
Get a transformer with a rating of at least 120VA or higher (preferable).
You can try online stores such as RS Components, Farnell/Newark/element14 and Mouser. Prepare to be shocked by their prices. You can get one way cheaper in places like Pasar Road (which means have to go out)...

wow, thanks for the detailed reply.
The adapter was meant to used in USA. (but it seems like it is rated for Microsoft Japan, and made in China pulak)
Go to jalan pasar maybe need 2 hours lol (me around banting), somemore I not familiar with KL road.
I am thinking, supermarket like Jusco got sell transformer?
what about Harvey Norman, Courts, etc got sell?
I briefly check thru several websites you gave
it seems like they are selling components instead of a functioning transformer that I can plug and play.
