Not 100% sure how the standby switch tie's in the the PSU but there 
will be a sense line on the PSU somewhere that detects when it needs to 
power up and down.
In fact the standby must be a part of the XL's hardware and firmware or 
you wouldnt get the "powering down in xx" time in the LCD.
So when in standby the PSU must be working you see?
A bit like your PC when you turn it off but its still got live mains on 
it and theres still some voltages left on the motherboard.
If your 100% convinced that it is the PSU there is a link to a supplier 
on a thread further back, someone managed to get hold of one.
Im sure the old one could be repaired, id have go. I do electronics for 
living.
Another thing is that a lot of people including myself run the XL's on 
110v with a 240v to 110v transformer.
It runs alot coolier that way :o)
Hope that helps
