   Your problems are coming from the fact that the differential equation is singular at 0. You can't expand it in a power series around x=0. You'll have to expand around another point if you want to do it that way. For example let u=x+1. Then the equation becomes (u-1)^2*y''+y=0. Now expand it as a series in u.
