Try adding `hdmi_force_hotplug=1` to your config.txt file.  
run the following from command line to edit that file.  
sudo nano /boot/config.txt

I guess you will have fixed it, but if not, I will tell you that you have to install the X HAT software to make it work properly.

You have to be connected to the internet.  
To run the installer, open a terminal and type:

`curl https://get.pimoroni.com/picadehat | bash`

You’ll need to reboot once the installation is complete, if it doesn’t prompt you to do so.
