Upper left screw is 4.5 mm and has smaller head. The other four are 6 mm.
Don't peel back the long foil shielding pictured top right! It should stay attached to the bottom shield that you are removing.
This photo is a little confusing. The shield should be off, which would show the correct positions of the yellow and orange screws. (The orange circle is in the wrong place.) Furthermore, these screws don't need to be removed at this stage (they hold the logic board to the frame). And finally, on my 800 MHz machine, BOTH these screws are 6 mm in length.
