I think you have misunderstood the problem, it does not go into
standby, nor am I asking it to.  I ask for a normal shutdown, which it
does.  After shutting down the shutdown light flashes *as if* it were
in standby, but it is not.  The problem is that something (possibly a
hardware fault) is causing it to think it is in standby when it is
not.
