Hello there,
I want to repair my phone but I don't have heat gun right now and I can't afford to buy one as other parts of my phone are little expensive.
so can I use a hair dryer instead?
And
is there any problem with static electricity stuff using hair dryer

Not hot enough.
A good hair dryer may hit 100C.
A decent heat gun can easily hit 450C.
The lowest melting point of lead solder (I know of) is about 185C. This varies a lot depending on the solder used.

You can try the oven method.

I've done this for a bad motherboard (GPU) on a Macbook Pro. It got another year of use. Just remove the phones motherboard. Be sure all cable, &c are removed. Give it a shot. What have you got to lose on a dead phone motherboard?

If it doesn't work. You can pick up a Galaxy S4 for $80 on eBay. Load the latest LineageOS and be good to go.
